Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described are most suggestive of an anxiety disorder, specifically a combination of generalized anxiety and panic symptoms. The constant sense of dread and apprehension, jumbled thinking, difficulty concentrating, physical agitation, and fear of losing control are all indicative of anxiety. None of the other options (dissociative, psychotic, and personality disorders) fit the symptoms as well.
