Overview

Anxiety was recognized as a symptom by Sigmund Freud.

Historical Perspective

  • In 1980, 'The American Psychiatric Association' introduced GAD as a diagnosis in the DSM-III.
    • Anxiety neurosis was split into:
      • 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, but this only increases anxious feelings the next time we are in the same position, and we will want to escape the situation again and therefore will not make any progress against the anxiety.
