Diagnostic criteria for generalized anxiety disorder

edit

ICD-11 Diagnostic Criteria[1]

  • Generalised anxiety disorder is characterized by marked symptoms of anxiety that persist for at least several months, for more days than not, manifested by either general apprehension (i.e. ‘free-floating anxiety’) or excessive worry focused on multiple everyday events, most often concerning family, health, finances, and school or work, together with additional symptoms such as muscular tension or motor restlessness, sympathetic autonomic over-activity, subjective experience of nervousness, difficulty maintaining concentration, irritability, or sleep disturbance. The symptoms result in significant distress or significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The symptoms are not a manifestation of another health condition and are not due to the effects of a substance or medication on the central nervous system.

Changes in DSM-5

  • The diagnostic criteria for generalized anxiety disorder changed slightly from DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5. Summaries are available here.


Base rates of GAD in different clinical settings

edit

This section describes the demographic setting of the population(s) sampled, base rates of diagnosis, country/region sampled and the diagnostic method that was used. Using this information, clinicians will be able to anchor the rate of GAD that they are likely to see in their clinical practice.

Note: “LR+” refers to the change in likelihood ratio associated with a positive test score, and “LR-” is the likelihood ratio for a low score. Likelihood ratios of 1 indicate that the test result did not change impressions at all. LRs larger than 10 or smaller than .10 are frequently clinically decisive; 5 or .20 are helpful, and between 2.0 and .5 are small enough that they rarely result in clinically meaningful changes of formulation[20].

Treatment

edit
Treatment Information

Individuals suffering from GAD tend to be high users of outpatient medical care. When treating GAD, physicians should first determine whether pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two treatments would be most beneficial to the patient. Literature suggests that treatment of GAD frequently consists of a combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Although these therapies have the potential to be effective individually, previous work demonstrates that when combined the degree of clinically significant change increases significantly. Recent studies (e.g., Gorman, 2003[24]; Walkup et al., 2008[25]) have provided evidence to support this claim with the most efficacious medication and behavioral interventions listed below.

  1. Medication Interventions
    1. Sertraline (Zoloft) has been shown to reduce experiences and effects of GAD above and beyond that of placebo conditions.
    2. Pregabalin. The mean baseline-to-endpoint decreases in total Hamilton anxiety scale score in the patients given 150 mg/day of pregabalin (–9.2) was significantly greater than the decrease in those given placebo (–6.8)[26].
    3. Paroxetine. Remission was achieved by 30% of patients in the 20-mg paroxetine groups compared with 20% given placebo. For all three domains of the Sheehan Disability Scale, significantly greater improvement was seen with paroxetine than placebo[27].
  2. Behavioral interventions
    1. Cognitive behavioral therapy. Fourteen 60-minute sessions, which include CBT in anxiety-management skills, followed by behavioral exposure to anxiety-provoking situations have been shown to be effective in treating GAD. A review of studies by Fisher and Durham (1999)[28] revealed significant recovery rates at a 6 month follow up after CBT.
    2. Exposure therapy and modeling therapy. One meta-analysis found that virtual reality exposure therapy for anxiety disorders had a large effect size (Cohen's d=1.11) compared to controls.[29]
    3. Mindfulness meditation. New treatment options such as mindfulness meditation-based stress reduction interventions have also shown to reduce symptoms over the long-term.[30]
  3. Combination treatment
    1. Previous research suggests that combination therapy that includes components of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are the most efficacious in treating GAD. In a study comparing the efficacies GAD treatments, Walkup and colleagues demonstrated a 21-25% improvement of combination therapy over cognitive behavioral therapy or sertraline alone during short-term treatment. These findings suggest that among effective treatments, combination therapy has the potential to provide the best chance for a positive outcome. See Gorman, 2003[24]; Walkup et al., 2008[25].
