Greater frequencies of generalized anxiety disorder were reported among 9/11 victims and responders
Generalized anxiety disorder is a condition defined by ongoing, excessive worry that can disrupt everyday activities. Research has shown that individuals with trauma connected to 9/11 have significantly higher rates of GAD. These include disaster response team members, survivors, residents, and others at Ground Zero.
GAD can manifest as both psychological and physical signs. Early diagnosis of GAD can greatly help an individual cope and manage the condition. For those affected by 9/11 trauma, programs like the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund provide essential financial support to help you deal with and manage your mental health condition.
