Chronic Anxiety: Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Mixed Anxiety-Depression

It is widely recognized that chronic anxiety plays a central role in a broad variety of psychological and psychiatric disorders. Yet, despite its significance, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) - an official psychiatric diagnosis that is akin to chronic anxiety - is one of the newest, least studied, and most misunderstood of the anxiety disorders. Bringing together leading researchers who discuss the nature and treatment of GAD., this is the first book to focus specifically on the topic. In addition, the volume examines the overlap of GAD and depressive disorders, presenting important new information on mixed anxiety-depression (MAD). Providing readers with both a fundamental understanding of the topic and a detailed examination of clinical issues, Chronic Anxiety will be valued by researchers in the area of psychiatric and emotional disorders as well as by clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and general practitioners. The work also serves as a text for graduate courses on anxiety disorders, emotional disorders, psychopathology, and therapy.Chronic Anxiety: Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Mixed Anxiety-Depression, was published 1991 under ISBN 9780898627718 and ISBN 0898627710.
