Is generalized anxiety disorder a medical disability?

No: Almost all people with generalized anxiety disorder can be treated and are able to work and live quality, productive lives.

That would depend: On how and how severely it impacts your ability to function in any work setting. My feeling is that it would be an uphill climb.

No: Is not a disability. Many sucessful people have anxiety, depression, diabetes, hypertension. A multidisciplinary team of doctor, social workers, psychologist, psychiatrist, family & friend are needed so you don't fall in the disability trap. We tend to give up too soon. There are exception to the rule after i really evaluate this & call it disability. It could take years, pt don't like that.

GAD: In most cases, no it is not.

Anxiety: Depends on the severity, although justifying it as a disability is a challenging task.
