3. Definition
Anxiety disorder is a group of mental
illnesses that cause constant and
overwhelming anxiety and fear. People
with anxiety disorders frequently have
intense, excessive, persistent worry and
fear about everyday situations. Often,
anxiety disorders involve repeated
episodes of sudden feelings of severe
anxiety and fear or terror that reach a
peak within minutes (panic attacks).
These feelings of anxiety and panic
interfere with daily activities, are difficult
to control, are out of proportion to the
actual danger, and can last a long time.

the Disease

5. Causes and Risk Factors
1.
Stressful, negative life experiences or environmental factors in
early childhood or adulthood.
2.
Temperamental traits of shyness or behavioral inhibition in
childhood:
3.
A history of anxiety or other mental health conditions in biological
relatives.
4. Some physical health conditions.
There is no known cause of anxiety disorders, but risk factors common to them include:
For instance, if a person has these risk factors, it does not mean you’ll immediately develop anxiety disorders. These risk
factors just increase the chance that you will develop the condition but it does not literally mean you will definitely will.

6. C. Pathophysiology
In the central nervous system
(CNS), the major mediators of the
symptoms of anxiety disorders
appear to be norepinephrine,
serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-
aminobutyric acid (GABA). Other
neurotransmitters and peptides,
such as corticotropin-releasing
factors, may be involved.
Peripherally, the autonomic
nervous system, especially the
sympathetic nervous system,
mediates many of the symptoms.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

common signs and symptoms.

8. E. Diagnosis
GIVE YOU A
PSYCHOLOGICAL
EVALUATION.
This involves discussing your thoughts,
feelings, and behavior to help pinpoint
a diagnosis and check for related
complications. Anxiety disorders often
occur along with other mental health
problems — such as depression or
substance misuse — which can make
diagnosis more challenging.
TO HELP DIAGNOSE AN ANXIETY DISORDER, YOUR MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER
MAY:
COMPARE YOUR SYMPTOMS
TO THE CRITERIA IN THE
DSM-5.
Many doctors use the criteria in the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published
by the American Psychiatric
Association, to diagnose an anxiety
disorder.
