Abstract in brief

  • Anxiety disorders share common features such as heightened anxiety and fear responses to threat-related cues, increased stress reactivity, attentional biases, and elevated amygdala activity, distinguishing them from depressive disorders.
  • While some differences among anxiety disorders and between anxiety and depressive disorders exist, these are inconsistent and lack sufficient data to support clear subdivisions like fear versus anxious misery disorders.
  • The current evidence suggests that understanding how these disorders overlap and differ needs a dimensional approach, but more research is needed before making changes to the DSM classification system.
