Overview
Generalized anxiety disorder was first recognized as a symptom by Sigmund Freud. In 1980, 'The American Psychiatric Association' introduced GAD as a diagnosis in the DSM-III.
Historical Perspective
- In the late 19th century, Sigmund Freud recognized anxiety as:[1]
- A "signal of danger"
- A cause of "defensive behavior"
- He believed we acquire anxious feelings through classical conditioning and traumatic experiences.
- In the 19th century into the 20th century, the terms used to diagnose generalized anxiety included:[2]
- “Pantophobia”
- “Anxiety neurosis”
- Such terms designated paroxysmal manifestations (panic attacks) as well as interparoxysmal phenomenology (the apprehensive mental state).
- Generalized anxiety was considered one of the numerous symptoms of neurasthenia, a vaguely defined illness.
- In 1980, 'The American Psychiatric Association' introduced GAD as a diagnosis in the DSM-III.
- Anxiety neurosis was split into:[3]
- GAD
- Panic disorder
- We maintain anxiety through operant conditioning;
- When we see or encounter something associated with a previous traumatic experience, anxious feelings resurface.
- We feel temporarily relieved when we avoid situations which make us anxious.
- Anxiety neurosis was split into:[3]
Development of Diagnostic Criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- In 1980, DSM-III portrayed GAD as:[4]
- Generalized, persistent anxiety
- In 1987, DMS-III-R portrayed GAD as:
- Unrealistic/excessive anxiety and worry (apprehensive expectation) about 2 or more life circumstances
- In 1992, ICD-10 portrayed GAD as:
- Generalized and persistent anxiety, not restricted to or even predominating in any environmental circumstances (ie, “free-floating”)
- The ICD-11, beta draft, portrayed GAD as:
- Marked symptoms of anxiety accompanied by either general apprehension (ie, “free-floating anxiety”) or worry focused on multiple everyday events (family, health, finances, school, or work)
- In 1994, DSM-IV portrayed GAD as:
- Excessive anxiety and worry (apprehensive expectation) about a number of events or activities
- Difficult to control the worry
- In 2013, DSM-V portrayed GAD as:
- Excessive anxiety and worry (apprehensive expectation) about a number of events or activities
- Difficult to control the worry
