Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety Disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by persistent and excessive worry, fear, and anxiety that can interfere with daily life.
These disorders include Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Specific Phobias, and others.
Symptoms may include restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances.
Effective treatments, such as psychotherapy and medication, are available to help manage Anxiety Disorders and improve quality of life.
Reasearch in this field aims to enhance understanding of the underlying causes, develop more effective interventions, and promote improved outcomes for individuals affected by these prevalent and disruptive conditions.

For comparability, the same sample used to standardize the overall ADOS total (see Gotham et al. 2009 (link)) was also employed to calibrate separate severity metrics for the Social Affect (SA) and Restricted, Repetitive Behavior (RRB) domains. Briefly, this included data from 1,415 individuals ranging in age from 2 to 16 years. With repeated assessments for 25 % of the sample, data from 2,195 ADOSes with contemporaneous best estimate clinical diagnoses were available for analysis. Of these assessments, 1,786 cases were given an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis (ASD; 1,187 Autistic Disorder, 599 Other-ASD) and 409 had a Non-ASD diagnosis. Non-ASD diagnoses included language disorders (27 %), nonspecific intellectual disability (20 %), Down syndrome (14 %), oppositional defiant disorder or ADD/ADHD (13 %), mood or anxiety disorders (8 %), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (7 %), other genetic or physical disabilities, such as Fragile X or mild cerebral palsy (6 %) and early developmental delays (5 %).
Individuals were consecutive referrals to specialty clinics in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois, and participants in research studies conducted through the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill, University of Chicago, and University of Michigan. All participants provided informed consent and all procedures related to this project were approved by institutional review boards at the University of Chicago or University of Michigan. Sample characteristics are provided in Table 1.

Demographic data included age (≥14 years), sex, marital and employment status, religion, migrant background, education and total income of household.
The German version of the PSS-10 (PSS-10; [10 (link)]) was used to measure the degree to which life in the past month has been experienced as unpredictable, uncontrollable and overwhelming (e.g. “In the last month, how often have you felt nervous and "stressed"?) on a 5-point response scale (0 = “never”, 1=”almost never”, 2=”sometimes”, 3=”fairly often”, 4=”very often”). The scale was forward translated from English to German and subsequently back translated by two interdependent bilingual speakers. After reversing the scores on the four positively stated items (Items 4, 5, 7, and 8), a PSS-10 total score was obtained by summing up all 10 items. Higher scores indicated a higher level of perceived stress. As the PSS is not a diagnostic instrument, there are no cut-off scores.
In addition to the PSS-10, socio-demographic questions and additional psychological variables were measured by validated and standardized self-report inventories. These included screening questionnaires for depression and generalized anxiety (PHQ-4), the short form of the General Procrastination Scale (GPS-K), the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), and the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (FLZ-M) during the interview.
The PHQ-4 [28 (link)] consists of two items reliably assessing the core symptoms of depressed mood and loss of interest plus two screening items of the short form of the GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder [GAD]-7 Scale) : “Feeling nervous, anxious or on edge” and “not being able to stop or control worrying”. The frequency of occurrence in the past two weeks was rated from 0 =”not at all”, 1 =”several days”, 2 =”over half the days”, and 3 =”nearly every day”. Answers of the first two items were added into a total score (0 to 6); a score ≥ 3 has a good sensitivity (87 %) and specificity (78 %) for major depression. Cronbach alpha in the present study was = .83. A sum score ≥ 3 (range 0–6) of the other two items indicates generalized anxiety with good sensitivity (86 %) and specificity (83 %), performing well as a screening tool for all anxiety disorders [29 (link)]. The internal consistency in the current study was Cronbach alpha = .77.
Procrastination was assessed by the 9-item short form of the General Procrastination Scale (GPS-K; [30 (link)]). Participants rated how characteristic they considered each behaviour (e.g. “I delay the completion of certain things”) on a 4-point scale (1=”very uncharacteristic” to 4 = “very characteristic”). The scale showed good reliability and validity in a representative German community sample [30 (link)]. The internal consistency was Cronbach alpha = .92.
The Copenhagen Personal Burnout Inventory (CBI; [31 (link)]) is part of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire assessing physical and mental exhaustion, independently from work. It assessed the frequency of six items („How often do you feel …“): “tired, physically, emotionally exhausted, unable to go on, weak and prone to illness.” The items were rated on a 5-point scale 1 =”never/almost never”, 2 = “rarely”, 3 = “occasionally”, 4 = “often” to 5 = “always” (COPSOQ; [32 (link)]). The scale was reliable (Cronbach alpha in the present study = .91).
The Questionnaire on Life Satisfaction FLZM [33 ] is a multi-dimensional self-report measure of individual life satisfaction covering eight relevant areas of life (friends, leisure time activities/hobbies, general health, income, work/career school, housing/living conditions, family life and partnership/sexuality). Additionally, a sum score of all dimensions was used as an index of global life satisfaction. Respondents rated the present satisfaction with these dimensions on a scale from 1 = “dissatisfied” to 5 = “very satisfied”. As the scale bases conceptually on different domains, the life satisfaction sum-scores indicated only sufficient internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = .70).

The WHODAS 2.0 was included in the 2007 Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Well-being conducted by trained interviewers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. A multistage stratified sample of households was contacted, and the specific person to be interviewed was identified. The survey oversampled younger people (16–24 years) and older people (65–85 years) to improve the reliability of estimates for these groups. This sampling process yielded 8,841 fully-responding households [8] (link). Mental disorders (affective, anxiety and substance use disorders) present in the past twelve months were identified from responses to the World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). Seven classes of chronic physical conditions (any cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, digestive disorders, musculoskeletal conditions, respiratory problems, or hearing or vision impairment) as assessed by the World Mental Health CIDI to be present in the past twelve months were identified.
The factor structure was explored to confirm the importance of the WHODAS 2.0 as a general measure of activity limitation. First, we did an exploratory Principal Components Analysis (PCA) with oblique rotation (direct oblimin) of polychoric correlations on a random 50% of the sample. Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin's (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy was computed to assess the suitability of the data for factor analysis. Values above 0.6 provide sufficient evidence for the factorability of the correlation matrix [9] . Additionally, Bartlett's test of sphericity was calculated to test whether the correlation matrix was an identity matrix (i.e. no relationship between the items). Second, data from the remaining 50% were used to conduct Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) of polychoric correlations to compare the model identified in the exploratory analysis with a theoretically derived model that posited both a general disability factor and factors related to the six domains of information in the questionnaire. The models were fitted using robust diagonally weighted least squares method of estimation recommended for the analysis of ordinal data. Good model fit is evidenced by a combination of the Tucker-Lewis fit index (TFI>0.90), the comparative fit index (CFI>0.90), the standardized root mean-square residual (SRMR≤0.08), and the root means square error of approximation (RMSEA≤0.08). Finally, to compare nested models the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) was generated. Generally, the model with the smallest AIC value has the better fit. The statistical models were fitted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.0 and LISREL version 8.80.
The distributions of the disability scores on the WHODAS 2.0 were examined and differences between means were assessed by t-tests and two-way ANOVAs, which have been found to be suitable for highly skewed data when the sample size is large [10] (link). The data were weighted to the Australian general population and jack-knife replicate weights were used for statistical estimation to take into account the sampling error arising from the complex survey design. All analyses were conducted using the SUDAAN statistical software package version 10.

The proportion of patients with COD was not significantly different for male (45.4%) and female (52.0%) patients (p = 0.139). The prevalence rates for the types of co-occurring psychiatric diagnoses are shown in Table 2. Among patients with COD, anxiety (22.9%) and mood disorders (17.3%) were the two most common psychiatric disorders. About one in five had more than one COD (21.4%), with a higher prevalence rate of multiple CODs among females (30.3%) than males (18.0%). Having anxiety disorders were significantly more prevalent among females (30.3%) than males (19.8%).

Venous blood samples will be collected for serum, plasma, DNA, and RNA extraction. Identifying biomarkers relevant to the course of depression is an area of research that is evolving rapidly. Thus, based on an ongoing critical literature review, the search for and analysis of specific biomarkers may change during the study period. Currently, the blood biomarkers include inflammation parameters (e.g., high sensitivity CRP) [61 (link), 62 (link)] and neurotrophic factors (e.g., BDNF and S100B) [63 , 64 (link)].
DNA from blood samples will be used for microarray-based genotyping of MDD candidate genes, genes of relevance for MDD (e.g., rs41271330, 5-HTTLPR, COMT, and BDNFval66met), drug metabolism (e.g., CYP2D6, CYP2C19, UGT1A1, ABCB1, ABCC1) and to compute polygenic risk scores in all participants after genome-wide genotyping in the future. DNA will also be used for epigenetic analysis, and circular extrachromosomal DNA, a form of decomposed free DNA [65 (link)], will be extracted and characterised. RNA will be extracted for gene transcription profiles using microarray or TAG-based methods (mRNA and microRNA).
