Anxiety Disorders Explained

In this lecture we will review the various types of Anxiety Disorders from the DSM-5-TR.

Anxiety Disorders include disorders that share features of excessive fear and anxiety and related behavioral disturbances. Fear is the emotional response to real or perceived imminent threat, whereas anxiety is anticipation of future threat (DSM-5-TR).

Anxiety disorders differ from developmentally normative fear or anxiety by being excessive or persisting beyond developmentally appropriate periods. They differ from transient fear or anxiety, often stress-induced, by being persistent (e.g., typically lasting 6 months or more), although the criterion for duration is intended as a general guide with allowance for some degree of flexibility and is sometimes of shorter duration in children (as in separation anxiety disorder and selective mutism) (DSM-5-TR).

I am open to additional lecture title suggestions… so if you have a topic in mind, send me your request.
