I believe the correct answer is psychological disorder.

General anxiety disorder is a collection of distressing and disabling cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms, characterized by excessive, uncontrollable and often irrational worry about events or activities. Therefore, it is a psychological disorder as its symptoms impact multiple areas of life (both behavioral and psychological).
