Anxiety-Related Disorders

Anxiety-related disorders encompass either generalized anxiety as the predominant disturbance or intermittent anxiety as the individual attempts to master symptoms; for example, confronting an object or situation in a phobic disorder or resisting the obsessions or compulsions in obsessive-compulsive disorders. Diagnosis requires medically documented findings of at least one of the following:

• Generalized persistent anxiety accompanied by three of the four following signs or symptoms:
  • Motor tension
  • Autonomic hyperactivity
  • Apprehensive expectation
  • Vigilance and scanning.

• A persistent irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation.
• Recurrent severe panic attacks manifested by a sudden unpredictable onset of intense apprehension, fear, terror and sense of impending doom occurring on the average of at least once a week.
• Recurrent obsessions or compulsions which are a source of marked distress.
• Recurrent and intrusive recollections of a traumatic experience.
