Anxiety disorders and OCD
Lay out the DSM-5-TR criteria for the major anxiety disorders — generalized anxiety, panic disorder, specific and social phobias, agoraphobia — and, separately (OCD is in its own chapter), obsessive-compulsive disorder (obsessions and/or compulsions, time-consuming, distressing/impairing). Cover etiology (genetic, neurobiological, learning), risk factors, and how to differentiate them from each other and from related conditions.
Choice Theory and Reality Therapy
Identify William Glasser as the founder of both. Explain Choice Theory (behavior is chosen to meet basic needs) and Reality Therapy (focusing on present choices and responsibility, the WDEP system) and how they’re used clinically — including with anxiety.
Format
6+ pages (excluding title/references), full APA 7, and 5+ recent (last ~5 years) peer-reviewed North American sources. Our disorder study-guide approach may help structure it.
