Being contaminated by dirt and germs c. Paying every bill at least 1 week early d. Experiencing a panic attack while driving e. Changing a car's oil exactly every 3,000 miles

Answer 1

The options above do not characterize Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but other types of Anxiety disorders.

Step-by-step explanation:

GAD, as the generalized anxiety disorder is called, is different from having a phobia about something. Phobias are about something specific, like spiders, heights, being in a crowded place.

GAD is an uneasy feeling about life in general, a state of worry over everything.

The feelings are not as intense as those that occur during a panic attack episode, it is a constant state of worry.

I hope it helps!
