10 Common Symptoms of Anxiety Disorder

3. Problems With Decision-Making

People with anxiety disorders are often indecisive. This indecisiveness is not limited to circumstances with numerous options to choose from: it extends to daily tasks as well. People with GAD often exhibit nervousness when confronted with any choice and find it difficult to arrive at a satisfying decision. Even when they finally make a choice, they may still worry. Ordinary activities like choosing an outfit for a special occasion, buying a gift, or even picking an item on the menu can be a lengthy process for people with GAD. This symptom, though very common, is not often recognized as symptomatic of an anxiety disorder. It is often written off as the person being finicky or choosy.
