Study Notes

Anxiety Disorders

  • Anxiety and fear evolved to warn of survival threats.
  • Normal anxiety is proportional to the danger, while pathologic anxiety is not.
  • Primary types of anxiety disorders (DSM-5):
    • Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
    • Acute Stress Disorder
    • Specific Phobia
    • Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)
    • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
    • Panic Disorder (PD)
    • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Common comorbidities include depression (~50%) and substance use disorders (~15%).

Specific Phobia

  • Intense, irrational fear of a specific situation or object.
  • Phobic situations are avoided.
  • Recognized as excessive, affecting daily functioning.
  • Examples include snakes, spiders, animals, closed spaces, heights, blood, and darkness.

  • Disproportionate fear leading to avoidance.

  • Cognitive restructuring
  • Group therapy
  • Medications (SSRIs, benzodiazepines, beta-blockers)

Assessment of Anxiety Disorders

  • Interviews and questionnaires (e.g., Beck Anxiety Inventory, MMPI).
