Integrative Anxiety Disorder

When it comes to generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) though they differ in each diagnosis, they also can share a unique bond with each other. Both diagnoses can co-occur among patients. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-V), post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that 's triggered by exposure to one or more tragic/terrifying events.

“Anxiety disorders take many forms, but all share the core characteristic of unrealistic and counterproductive levels of anxiety. Anxiety has two major components: (1) strong negative emotions and (2) physical tension due to the anticipation of danger,” (Cacioppo, & Freberg, 2013). Anxiety disorders occur in people who worry about things they think are going to happen to them in the future, (Cacioppo, & Freberg, 2013). They exaggerate these events and this causes them undue anxiety. They may worry about someone being in danger or even something as normal as paying bills.
