What are some of the cognitive-behavioral causal factors for Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
What will be an ideal response?
-Similar to that for Panic Disorder, interoceptive and exteroceptive stimuli become predictive of worry and apprehension to the point that widespread anxiety occurs as a conditioned response.-This would be most likely to occur in people who have a history of uncontrollable and unpredictable events, and who would also be less likely to identify periods of safety from threat, resulting in hyper vigilance.-This results in a cognitive tendency to over-appraise and attend to threatening interoceptive and exteroceptive cues, and such an interpretive bias can increase vulnerability to anxiety disorders
