GAD isn't a mental disease--it's more of a chemical imbalance (physical) thing. Many more people have it than you'd probably imagine, but it's not noticeable because it's not bad enough to have a big effect. For other people, it's almost a handicap. I have it and I take medication, so it's generally not a problem. I agree with whoever said GAD isn't an excuse to be bitchy. It's not. People with GAD just get more anxious about normal things than people without it, but again, that doesn't equal bitchiness. If he's using this as an excuse for behaving in a way that's inconsiderate or inappropriate, that isn't fair and he probably is using it as a "crutch." If, in his case, it's bad enough that it affects his daily life and interactions with people, he either needs medication or counseling, or a combination of both.
