Is it possible that adult person develops generalized anxiety disorder after traumatic event? What can you tell me about this disorder? What are typical signs of generalized anxiety?

Of course that it is possible. I know a woman who has traumatic event. She was raped…few months after she developed generalized anxiety disorder. Those people are unable to stop worrying or relax. People with this disorder also often experience associated symptoms such as: restlessness, , fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and sleep disturbance. The anxiety and worry is considered a disorder if it is severe enough to cause significant distress or interferes with social functioning.
