A member asked:

I've been told that i have gad, i'm afraid to take medication, i'm afraid of a lot of things is that apart of gad, or am i paranoid also. please help ?

Meds + CBT: Medication and cognitive behavioral therapy together are more likely to manage GAD than either alone. Your fears are not paranoia but a form of anxiety possibly phobia.
