A psychiatrist for the VA diagnosed me with generalized anxiety disorder, which was not a surprise to me. Along with the sympoms listed above, my throat feels very tight a lot of the time, I sweat randomly, tremble, and the head pressure is worse when the other symptoms are present. I workout 5 days a week and probably 10 times total if you include basketball and other activities after work. If I sit in the sauna, the symptoms get a lot better.

My son is in the military. He suffers from mild agoraphobia and was originally prescribed Prozac. He had side-effects and to that and was prescribed Paxil and is concerned about developing side-effects to this as well.

Whether your son is suffering from anxiety or stress is irrelevant - I think you are asking if your son suffers from an anxiety disorder and I doubt that very much. But yes, I suspect he is suffering from anxiety/stress from the impending change.

Why reach out for guidance if what you want to do is maintain the status quo?
