Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) can feel like your brain will not shut off, no matter how tired you are or how much you accomplish in a day. At Sabuche Health, men 18 and older can get confidential, judgment‑free telehealth care for GAD, with clear next steps and treatment options that fit real life.

What is generalized anxiety disorder?

Generalized anxiety disorder is ongoing, hard‑to‑control worry about many different parts of life, such as work, money, health, or family. The worry feels excessive, sticks around most days for months, and is tough to turn down even when things are going “fine” on paper.

GAD is more than normal stress. It often comes with physical symptoms like tension, poor sleep, and trouble concentrating, and it can quietly drain your energy and confidence over time.

Common symptoms men notice

Many men with GAD describe feeling constantly on edge, like they are always waiting for something bad to happen. They may notice that they cannot stop or control worrying, even when they know the worry is not helpful.

Common signs include:

• Racing thoughts, trouble relaxing, or feeling restless or keyed up.

• Muscle tension, tight shoulders, headaches, stomach issues, or sweating.

• Trouble falling or staying asleep, or waking up feeling unrefreshed.

• Irritability, snapping at people, or feeling “checked out” around family or coworkers.

Some men also notice that anxiety makes it hard to focus at work, enjoy hobbies, or be present with partners and kids.

How GAD is evaluated

During a Sabuche Health telehealth visit, a clinician will ask about your mood, sleep, energy, and how long your anxiety has been present. You will also review your medical history, medications, caffeine and alcohol use, and any substance use, since these can affect anxiety.

A short, standardized questionnaire such as the GAD‑7 may be used to better understand how often symptoms show up and how much they affect your life. The clinician will also screen for other conditions that can look similar, like panic disorder, PTSD, depression, or thyroid and heart problems, and will let you know if in‑person testing or referral is needed.

When anxiety needs urgent in‑person help

Some symptoms mean you should get immediate, in‑person or emergency care instead of or in addition to telehealth. These include:

• Thoughts of self‑harm or suicide, or feeling like you might act on them.

• Chest pain, trouble breathing, or other new symptoms that could be from a heart or lung problem.

• Sudden behavior changes, confusion, or signs of intoxication or withdrawal.

Sabuche Health can help identify red flags, but crisis‑level symptoms should always be handled through emergency services or local urgent care.

Treatment options through telehealth

If GAD is the likely diagnosis and telehealth is appropriate, your clinician will walk you through a practical treatment plan. This may include:

• Education on how anxiety works in the body and why symptoms feel so physical.

• Brief coaching on breathing, grounding, and sleep habits to reduce day‑to‑day symptoms.

• Discussion of therapy options, including cognitive behavioral strategies you can start using right away.

In some cases, non‑addictive prescription medication such as certain antihistamines or other agents may be recommended to help manage anxiety symptoms. The clinician will review possible benefits, side effects, and how the medicine fits with your current health and medications before sending a prescription to your pharmacy, if appropriate.

Lifestyle factors that matter

Several everyday habits can quietly push anxiety higher or make it harder to treat. During your visit, you may talk about:

• Caffeine and energy drink use, especially late in the day.

• Alcohol use, including “self‑medicating” at night to unwind.

• Sleep timing, screen habits, and late‑night work or scrolling.

• Exercise, nutrition, and how often you take real mental breaks.

Small, realistic changes in these areas can make medication and therapy work better and help you feel more like yourself.
