Overview
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder is a mental health condition characterized by excessive and persistent worry about everyday events or problems. The worry is difficult to control and may occur on most days for an extended period. Symptoms can include restlessness, irritability, muscle tension, fatigue, sleep problems, and difficulty concentrating.
Uveitis
Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye that includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It can cause eye redness, pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision, floaters, or reduced vision. Uveitis may affect one or both eyes and can develop suddenly or gradually. Without appropriate treatment, inflammation may damage structures of the eye and impair vision.

Diagnosis
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Diagnosis is based on a clinical interview and assessment of excessive, difficult-to-control worry occurring on most days for at least six months, together with associated symptoms such as restlessness, fatigue, irritability, muscle tension, sleep problems, or difficulty concentrating. Clinicians may also assess for other mental health, medical, or substance-related causes.
Uveitis
Uveitis is diagnosed through a detailed eye examination, usually by an ophthalmologist. The examination may identify inflammatory cells, redness, swelling, or other changes inside the eye. Visual acuity, pressure measurement, slit-lamp examination, and retinal examination are commonly used. Blood tests, imaging, or other investigations may be needed when an infection or systemic inflammatory disease is suspected.
Prevention
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder cannot always be prevented. Healthy sleep, regular physical activity, supportive relationships, stress-management skills, and avoiding excessive alcohol or drug use may support emotional well-being. People experiencing persistent or difficult-to-control worry should seek professional help early, particularly when anxiety begins to interfere with daily activities.
Uveitis
Uveitis cannot always be prevented because many cases are related to autoimmune conditions or causes that cannot be controlled. Preventing infections through appropriate hygiene, vaccination, and other recommended measures may reduce some infectious causes. People with inflammatory diseases should follow their treatment plans and seek prompt medical attention for eye pain, redness, light sensitivity, floaters, or unexplained changes in vision.
Risk Factors
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Risk may increase with a family history of anxiety or other mental health conditions, prolonged stress, traumatic experiences, certain personality or coping patterns, and other psychiatric conditions. Chronic medical problems and substance use may also contribute to persistent anxiety. Generalized anxiety disorder can develop even when no single risk factor is identified.
Uveitis
Risk factors include having an autoimmune or inflammatory disorder, certain infections, previous eye injury or surgery, and in some cases a family or genetic susceptibility to inflammatory disease. Exposure to certain infections may also increase risk. Because uveitis has many possible causes, risk factors vary considerably according to the underlying condition and the part of the eye involved.
