Instructor’s Comments:

This week we will focus on anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and related disorders. This assignment is similar to Unit 2 DB, except that now you will choose one of three anxiety disorders and explore the symptoms, expression, prevalence, workplace impact, treatment, and prognosis of that disorder. Check Chapter 5, pp. 129-143 for information on generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and agoraphobia.

To learn more about these three disorders, here are a few fact sheets:
