>Epidemiology (3%)

"In any given year, GAD affects 6.8 million adults, which is equal to 3.1% of the U.S. population, and women are twice as likely to be affected. The general prevalence of GAD in children younger than eighteen years is between 5.7% and 12.8%. 

>Course

Although clinical and epidemiological data suggest that generalized anxiety disorder is a chronic illness, recent studies have produced contradictory evidence and clinical findings that indicate remission is possible."

>Tx

"... The two primary components of treatment for generalized anxiety disorder include psychotherapy and medication, and they are not mutually exclusive. 

"...There are many different types of therapeutic modalities that could be incorporated into one’s treatment plan for generalized anxiety disorder, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), expressive arts therapy, and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT). Some adolescents diagnosed with GAD may benefit from including medication into the treatment plan, in conjunction with various therapeutic methods. The different types of medications prescribed to treat GAD include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs)...."
