Generalized anxiety disorders (GAD) is a chronic anxiety disorder characterized by autonomic excitability and hypervigilance. However, there was currently a lack of a quantitative synthesis of this time-varying science, as well as a measure of researchers’ networks and scientific productivity. Searching from the Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed, and Scopus on January 31st, 2024. The scientometric analysis was realized and the clinical research of GAD in recent ten years was explored. 9703 studies published from 2014 to 2023 were included, which aggregated into a well-structured network with credible clustering. It was worth studying the recent trend of productivity. Eleven clusters were identified by the co-citation reference network. The network structure was reasonable ( Q = 0.5996) and the clustering reliability was high ( S = 0.8378). The main trend of research is ‘’china’’, ‘’epidemic’’. These results can provide reference for the future development of funding agencies and research groups.

Continuing Education Activity

Generalized anxiety disorder is a mental health disorder that produces fear, worry, and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. It is characterized by excessive, persistent, and unrealistic worry about everyday things. This activity illustrates the evaluation and management of generalized anxiety disorder and explains the interprofessional team's role in managing patients with this condition.

Summarize the etiology of generalized anxiety disorder.
Describe the use of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Questionnaire in the evaluation of generalized anxiety disorder.
Identify the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy in the management of patients with a generalized anxiety disorder.
Outline the importance of collaboration and communication among the interprofessional team to enhance care delivery for patients affected by a generalized anxiety disorder.
Introduction

Generalized anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental disorders. Up to 20% of adults are affected by anxiety disorders each year. Generalized anxiety disorder produces fear, worry, and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by persistent, excessive, and unrealistic worry about everyday things. This worry could be multifocal such as finance, family, health, and the future. It is excessive, difficult to control, and is often accompanied by many non-specific psychological and physical symptoms. Excessive worry is the central feature of generalized anxiety disorder. [1] [2] [3]

Diagnostic criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) include the following:

Excessive anxiety and worry for at least six months
Difficulty controlling the worrying.
The anxiety is associated with three or more of the below symptoms for at least 6 months:
Restlessness, feeling keyed up or on edge
Being easily fatigued
Difficulty in concentrating or mind going blank, irritability
Muscle tension
Sleep disturbance
Irritability
The anxiety results in significant distress or impairment in social and occupational areas
The anxiety is not attributable to any physical cause

The etiology may include:

A physical condition such as diabetes or other comorbidities such as depression
Genetic, first-degree relatives with generalized anxiety disorder (25%)
Environmental factors, such as child abuse
Substance use disorder
Epidemiology

Childhood anxiety occurs in about 1 in 4 children at some time between the ages of 13 and 18 years. The median age at onset is 11 years. However, the lifetime prevalence of a severe anxiety disorder in children ages 13 to 18 is approximately 6%. General prevalence in children younger than 18 years is between 5.7% and 12.8%. The prevalence is approximately twice as high among women as among men. [4] [5] [6]

The American Psychiatric Association first introduced the diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder two decades ago in the DSM-III. Before that time, generalized anxiety disorder was conceptualized as one of the two core components of anxiety neurosis, the other being panic. A recognition that generalized anxiety disorder and panic, although often occurring together, are sufficiently distinct to be considered independent disorders led to their separation in the DSM-III.

The DSM-III definition of generalized anxiety disorder required uncontrollable and diffuse (i.e., not focused on a single major life problem) anxiety or worry that is excessive or unrealistic relative to objective life circumstances and persists for one month or longer. Several related psychophysiological symptoms were also required for a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder. Early clinical studies evaluating DSM-III, according to this definition, found that the disorder seldom occurred in the absence of another comorbid anxiety or mood disorder. Comorbidity of generalized anxiety disorder and major depression was especially strong and led some commentators to suggest that generalized anxiety disorder might better be conceptualized as a prodrome, residual, or severity marker than as an independent disorder. The rate of comorbidity of generalized anxiety disorder with other disorders decreases as the duration of generalized anxiety disorder increases. Based on this finding, the DSM-III-R committee on generalized anxiety disorder recommended that the duration required for the disorder be increased to six months. This change was implemented in the final version of the DSM-III-R. Additional changes in the definition of excessive worry and the required number of associated psychophysiological symptoms were made in the DSM-IV.

These changes in diagnostic criteria led to delays in cumulating data on the epidemiology of generalized anxiety disorder. Nonetheless, such data became available over the past decade. As described in more detail later, this new data challenged the view that generalized anxiety disorder should be conceptualized as a prodrome, residual, or severity marker of other disorders. Instead, it suggests that generalized anxiety disorder is a common disorder that, although often comorbid with other mental disorders, does not have a higher comorbidity rate than those found in most other anxiety or mood disorders. The new data also challenged the validity of the threshold decisions embodied in the DSM-5.

Pathophysiology

The exact mechanism is not entirely known. Anxiety can be a normal phenomenon in children. Stranger anxiety begins at seven to nine months of life. Noradrenergic, serotonergic, and other neurotransmitter systems appear to play a role in the body's response to stress. The serotonin system and the noradrenergic systems are common pathways involved in anxiety. Many believe that low serotonin system activity and elevated noradrenergic system activity are responsible for its development. Therefore, it is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) that are the first-line agent for its treatment.

History and Physical

Patients with anxiety can pose a diagnostic challenge, as somatic symptoms are more common than psychological symptoms. Most patients present with vague or nonspecific somatic complaints, including, but not limited to, shortness of breath, palpitations, fatigability, headache, dizziness, and restlessness. Patients may also describe psychologic symptoms such as excessive, nonspecific anxiety and worry, emotional lability, difficulty concentrating, and insomnia.

Factors commonly associated with generalized anxiety include:

Female gender
Poor health
Low education
Presence of stressors

The median age of presentation is 30 years.

Many scales have been developed to assess the severity and diagnosis. The GAD-7 has been validated as a diagnostic tool and severity assessment scale.

Initial assessment begins by addressing behavioral or somatic symptoms. Evaluate for psychosocial stress, psychosocial difficulties, and developmental issues. Review past medical history, including trauma, psychiatric conditions, and substance abuse. [7]

The following evaluation may be obtained to exclude organic causes:

Thyroid function tests
Blood glucose level
Echocardiography
Toxicology screen

The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item (GAD-7) Questionnaire is a screening tool that can also be used to monitor patients with generalized anxiety disorder.

Treatment / Management

The two main treatments for generalized anxiety disorder are cognitive behavioral therapy and medications. Patients may benefit most from a combination of the two. It may take some trial and error to discover which treatments work best. [8] [9] [10]

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

This includes psychoeducation, changing maladaptive thought patterns, and gradual exposure to anxiety-provoking situations.

Pharmacotherapy

Patients who do not respond to cognitive behavioral therapy may be treated with medications. Some patients with severe symptoms are treated with both initially. Several types of medications are used to treat generalized anxiety disorder.

Antidepressants

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) classes are the first-line agents with a response rate of 30% to 50%. This class of drugs includes escitalopram (Lexapro), duloxetine (Cymbalta), venlafaxine (Effexor XR), and paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva). In a study, 81% of children with anxiety disorders who received combined sertraline hydrochloride and CBT responded to the treatment.

Antipsychotics may also help some patients, especially those with associated behavior problems.

Benzodiazepines

Examples are diazepam and clonazepam, which are long-acting agents. These agents are used when an immediate reduction of symptoms is desired, or a short-term treatment is needed. Generally, cooperative and compliant patients who are aware that their symptoms have a psychological basis are more likely to respond to benzodiazepines. Since there is a concern for misuse and dependence, patients with a history of alcoholism or drug abuse are not appropriate candidates for this treatment.

Buspirone

Buspirone is a non-benzodiazepine that does not cause dependency. It is also less sedating than benzodiazepines, and tolerance does not occur at therapeutic doses. This agent has a therapeutic lag in the efficacy of two to three weeks, limiting its use.

All medications should be titrated slowly and continued for at least 4 weeks to determine if they work. Once symptoms are under control, the medications need to be used for at least 12 months before gradually tapering them. Every medication has adverse effects like weight gain, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes; thus, the patients need to be monitored.

Psychotherapy is used in addition to medications; this combination has proven to be effective.

The education of the patient is vital as it can help ease anxiety. The triggers for anxiety should be managed by avoiding caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and stress) and improving sleep.

Many complementary and alternative remedies are available, but the evidence to support their efficacy is lacking. Further, some agents like Kava may injure the liver. Others, like St John's wort and hydroxytryptophan, may interact with SSRIs and induce serotonin syndrome.

Differential Diagnosis
Hyperthyroidism
Pheochromocytoma
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Transient ischemic attack
Bipolar disorder
Use of caffeine, decongestants, and albuterol

The prognosis for patients with generalized anxiety disorder is guarded. Many patients are not compliant with medications because of cost and adverse effects. Relapses are common, and patients often search for physicians who comply with their needs. Because of the lack of conventional medicine to cure the disorder, many opt for alternative therapies without much success. Overall, the quality of life of these patients is poor.

Complications

Complications of generalized anxiety disorder can also lead to, or worsen, other mental and physical conditions [11] :

Depression (often presents concomitantly with an anxiety disorder)
Drug or alcohol use disorder
Gastrointestinal problems
Social isolation
Issues functioning at work/school
Impaired quality of life
Suicide potential
Deterrence and Patient Education

Patients with anxiety disorders need to understand the importance of medication compliance (anxiolytics, antidepressants, sleep inducers), working with any cognitive therapy prescribed, and the benefit of stopping the use of caffeine or other stimulants.

Pearls and Other Issues

Consider further evaluation for anxiety disorder if an adult is excessively anxious or an infant or child is excessively clingy and difficult to console during the pediatric visit. Many medical conditions may mimic anxiety disorders. One should distinguish between anxiety and illness and should evaluate for organic diseases before making this diagnosis.

Enhancing Healthcare Team Outcomes

Anxiety disorders are very common and can have a diverse presentation of signs and symptoms. The condition has very high morbidity and mortality and is best managed by an interprofessional team that includes a mental health nurse, pharmacist, psychologist, psychiatrist, and primary care provider. Many patients have moderate to severe symptoms, which lead to poor quality of life. Most have no idea that the condition can be treated. Thus, the key to improving outcomes is patient education. The nurse practitioner, pharmacist, and primary care provider should urge the patient to stop tobacco, alcohol, and caffeinated beverages. Also, relief of stress is vital, and thus a referral for cognitive behavior therapy may help.

Many drugs can be used to treat anxiety, but they all have side effects, which is a common reason for non-compliance. The pharmacist should emphasize the benefits of these medications and urge compliance to improve the symptoms. At the same time, the primary care provider should monitor for hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and weight gain due to the medications.

Overall, anxiety disorders are underdiagnosed and undertreated. When left untreated, anxiety disorders often lead to severe depression and abuse of drugs and alcohol. Additionally, there is a high rate of suicide among these patients. Many patients with chronic anxiety have a poor quality of life. The education of both the patient and family by the pharmacist, nurse, and provider as a team is important to reduce the high morbidity and addiction problems with treatment medications. Family members should help ensure medication compliance and provide a supportive environment. Unfortunately, despite optimal treatment, relapse rates are high. [12] [13] [14] [Level 5]

Anxiety Disorders by Jeannette M. Reid , Dean McKay LAST REVIEWED: 22 April 2013 LAST MODIFIED: 22 April 2013 DOI: 10.1093/obo/9780199828340-0006

Recent epidemiological research has shown that anxiety disorders, collectively, are the most common set of psychiatric disorders. Lifetime prevalence estimates suggest that nearly 30 percent of the population will experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their life ( Kessler, et al. 2005 , cited under Phobias ). Bolstering the concern, anxiety disorders (as a group) tend to be associated with a host of cognitive impairments (e.g., perseveration, visual memory deficits), diminished quality of life (e.g., in areas of work and social functioning), and both psychiatric and medical comorbidities. Anxiety disorders may be roughly classed into two groups: (1) those characterized primarily by acute fear (e.g., phobias) and (2) those associated with lower level, but chronic, anxiety and apprehension (with the clearest example being generalized anxiety disorder). Cognitive and behavioral explanations of anxiety predominate, with related treatments showing most consistent research support among psychosocial interventions. (While standard pharmacological practices are mentioned wherever relevant, a more in-depth discussion of pharmacological interventions for anxiety disorders is outside the scope of this chapter.) In general, the etiology of anxiety disorders is likely best understood through the lens of the diathesis-stress model—such that individuals have a genetic predisposition/vulnerability and situational factors mediate symptomatology. (Certainly, a sudden expression of symptoms following brain damage would be an exception. However, as these presentations—albeit fascinating—are in the minority, a related discussion will be beyond the scope of this bibliography.) Within this article, the following anxiety disorders will be discussed in detail: phobias, panic with and without agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Factors of current interest in the field will be attended to specifically—for instance, comorbidity in obsessive-compulsive disorder and differential risk in posttraumatic stress disorder. Throughout the discussion, pertinent works will be delineated and summarized.

The following works have been selected for both their breadth and the authors’ prominence in the field. Barlow 2002 provides an in-depth review of classification, presentation, etiology, assessment, and treatment of all anxiety disorders that appear in the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-IV-TR). Theories of fear acquisition (e.g., evolutionary) are assessed by Ollendick and King 1991 and by Ohman 2009 . Borkovec’s is the most frequently cited name in GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) for his research in developing a comprehensive model of the condition and the underlying primary mechanism: worry. This has led to considerable research on worry; accordingly, two of Borkovec’s most frequently cited works have been selected— Borkovec 1994 and Borkovec, et al. 1991 . Finally, we recommend the comprehensive work by Antony and Stein 2008 for information on biological bases of various anxiety disorders.

Antony, M. M., and M. B. Stein. 2008. Oxford handbook of anxiety disorders . New York: Oxford Univ. Press.

DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195307030.001.0001

This book offers comprehensive coverage of the full range of anxiety disorders. Of note, the book includes a chapter on the underlying biological bases of specific anxiety disorders and includes a chapter on the neuroscience of anxiety (i.e., proposed fear circuitry).

Barlow, D. H. 2002. The nature of anxious apprehension. In Anxiety and its disorders: The nature and treatment of anxiety and panic . 2d ed. Edited by D. H. Barlow, 64–104. New York: Guilford.

Barlow reviews his fundamental conceptualization of anxiety as a “sense of uncontrollability focused largely on possible future, threat, danger, or other potentially negative events” (p. 64)—a state that appears to require both cognitive and physical hypervigilance. This chapter, as well as the book as a whole, is one of the most frequently cited sources on anxiety disorders and covers the full range of theory and phenomenology of anxiety experiences.

Borkovec, T. D. 1994. The nature, functions, and origins of worry. In Worrying: Perspectives on theory, assessment, and treatment . Edited by G. Davey and F. Tallis, 5–33. New York: Wiley.

Borkovec reviews theoretical perspectives on worry’s origins as well as physiological correlates to the common experience of worry. Given the central role worry occupies in many anxiety disorders, this chapter is important in the foundations of understanding this specific cognitive feature.

Borkovec, T. D., R. Shadick, and M. Hopkins. 1991. The nature of normal and pathological worry. In Chronic anxiety: Generalized anxiety disorder, and mixed anxiety depression . Edited by R. M. Rapee and D. H. Barlow, 29–51. New York: Guilford.

Borkovec is the leading name in research on generalized anxiety disorder. In this chapter, he and colleagues offer distinctions between typical and pathological (i.e., functional and dysfunctional) worry. This chapter sets the stage for establishing the distinct nature of worry in psychopathology as compared to everyday worry. In light of the ubiquity of worry, setting out the boundaries for how to distinguish normal from abnormal worry is an important conceptualization.

Ohman, A. 2009. Of snakes and faces: An evolutionary perspective on the psychology of fear. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology 50:543–552.

DOI: 10.1111/j.1467-9450.2009.00784.x

Ohman reviews an evolutionary perspective of fear via literature on differential fear conditioning, quicker nonconscious processing, and enhanced attention toward both snakes and threatening faces when compared to neutral stimuli. There has been considerable interest in the basic evolved nature of fear. Of particular interest has been the way in which this information is processed, and Ohman provides an extensive analysis of cognitive processing of fear.

Ollendick, T. H., and N. J. King. 1991. Origins of childhood fears: An evaluation of Rachman’s theory of fear acquisition. Behaviour Research and Therapy 29:117–123.

Ollendick and King examine the extent to which childhood fear onset can be attributed to indirect sources of learning (i.e., vicarious and instructional factors) versus direct conditioning. Childhood anxiety is of generalized importance since the developmental features of anxiety set the stage for treatment across all ages. The etiological theory of anxiety is described and evaluated in the context of Rachman’s theory, an important model of anxiety acquisition.

Little is known about the psychological stress and secondary impacts emerging among the general U.S. population as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose for the current study is to assess the prevalence rates of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and to establish psychosocial correlates, pandemic-themed concerns, and other comorbidities for those with GAD at the initial onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This online study included 2,101 U.S. adults between April 14-22, 2020, during the initial stay-at-home protocols and assessed GAD, psychosocial factors, and pandemic-related factors including concerns, changes in health behaviors, and adherence to protocols. The results demonstrated a high prevalence rate (17.9%) for GAD during the initial COVID-19 outbreak compared with the prior 1.8% 12-month estimate before the pandemic. Individuals with GAD reported significantly higher levels of stress, loneliness, fatigue, and empathic concern, along with reductions in levels of quality of life. Likewise, those with GAD reported significantly higher pandemic-related concerns, poorer changes in general health behaviors, and less confidence in the government's response to the pandemic. For clinical purposes, these findings provide insight into the various types of pandemic-themed worries that individuals meeting clinical criteria for GAD will have the most difficulties controlling.
