The major subtypes of anxiety disorders in the DSM-5 include panic
disorder (with or without agoraphobia), agoraphobia (without a history of
panic disorder), specific phobia, social phobia, and generalized anxiety
disorder (GAD). Revisions to the classifica6on of anxiety disorders in the
DSM-5 involve removing obsessive- compulsive disorder and
posVrauma6c disorder have been subsumed under newly created
―obsessive-compulsive and related disorders‖ and ―trauma- and stressor-
related disorders‖ categories, respec6vely. Therefore, both obsessive–
compulsive disorder and posVrauma6c stress disorder are not considered
in this chapter. Other modifica6ons to the proposed DSM-5 anxiety
disorders category include the addi6on of separa6on anxiety disorder
(contained under Disorders Usually First Diagnosed in Infancy, Childhood,
or Adolescence in the DSM-IV), the iden6fica6on of agoraphobia as a
dis6nct and codable disorder (diagnosed only with reference to panic
disorder in the DSM-IV), minor revisions to criterion language to enhance
clarity, objec6vity, and consistency across the anxiety disorders, and the
relabeling of social phobia as social anxiety disorder (SAD). As such, the
term ―social phobia‖ will now be replaced with ―social
anxiety disorder.‖
