While not dependant on alcohol they may be experiencing issues with their health and wellbeing and find themselves on the start stop merry go round.
Because GAD’s on the surface don’t appear to have a problem they typically don’t discuss the subject with family and friends. It is often a hidden matter, left to self-management.
