Answer to Question 1

4. Generalized anxiety disorder

Rationale:
Generalized anxiety disorder is excessive worry about everyday problems with the anxiety being more intense that the situation warrants. The client is demonstrating signs of generalized anxiety disorder. A phobia is an intense, persistent, irrational fear of a simple thing or social situation that compels the individual to avoid the stressor that elicits the fear. Panic disorder is a sudden attack of terror, accompanied by a pounding heart, sweatiness, weakness, faintness, or dizziness. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by obsessive thoughts and compulsive repetitive behaviors formed in response to the obsessive thoughts to lower the level of anxiety experienced.
