Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by persistent and excessive worry and anxiety that is not tied to any specific situation or object. This "free-floating" anxiety can be difficult to control and can lead to physical symptoms such as muscle tension, fatigue, and trouble sleeping.

A) Phobic disorder is characterized by intense and irrational fear of a specific object, situation, or activity.
C) Panic disorder is characterized by sudden and recurrent panic attacks, which involve intense fear and physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, sweating, and trembling. Panic attacks can happen in response to a specific trigger or can occur unexpectedly.
D) Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions) performed in an attempt to alleviate the anxiety caused by the obsessions. These compulsions can interfere with daily life and cause significant distress. Disruption of motor functioning is not a common symptom of OCD.
