Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generalized anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations and events, without a clear cause or trigger. The fear and anxiety are often out of proportion to the actual threat posed by the situation or event. This can lead to a sense of apprehension or dread, which can be difficult to shake off. Phobias, on the other hand, are specific irrational fears of a particular object or situation. Dissociative neurosis and acute stress disorder are not characterized by feeling fearful without knowing why.
