I've been thinking alot,mainly overthinking and I don't really like how it's called Generalized Anxiety Disorder bc it almost feels invalidating bc it's just "normal anxiety" but sometimes it's debilitating.Does anybody else get that?

Is called generalized because it's anxiety in general as opposed to restricted to a specific topic like social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, etc. Not because it's stating a specific severity.

@Mami20 yeah i always thought it was called 'generalized' bc its not restricted to a specific thing like social anxiety, it follows us everywhere and affects our whole life.
