―related to‖ and ―as evidenced by‖ portions of defining characteristics. ―Anxiety related to
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
new drug therapy‖ is missing the ―as evidenced by‖ portion of defining characteristics. The
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff f ff ff ff ff
statement beginning ―Anxiety related to anxious feelings‖ is incorrect because the ―related to‖
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
section is simply a restatement of the problem ―anxiety,‖ not a separate factor related to the
