    The American Journal of Psychiatry
    |March 1, 1983

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Endocrinology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) includes criteria for organic affective, delusional, and personality syndromes.
    • However, DSM-III does not provide an organic equivalent for anxiety disorders.
    • Anxiety symptoms are observed in various medical conditions, such as hyperthyroidism and pheochromocytoma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define and formulate diagnostic criteria for an organic anxiety syndrome.
    • To discuss the theoretical and therapeutic implications of recognizing organic anxiety.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on organic syndromes and anxiety symptoms.
    • Formulation of proposed diagnostic criteria for an organic anxiety syndrome based on clinical presentation and underlying pathophysiology.
    • Discussion of diagnostic challenges and treatment considerations.

    Main Results:

    • Proposed diagnostic criteria for an organic anxiety syndrome are presented.
    • The study highlights the need to consider organic causes when anxiety symptoms are present.
    • Theoretical implications for understanding the neurobiology of anxiety are discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • An organic anxiety syndrome should be recognized as a distinct diagnostic entity.
    • The proposed criteria aim to improve the diagnosis and management of anxiety in patients with underlying medical conditions.
    • Further research is warranted to validate these criteria and explore therapeutic interventions.
