- 20:2020:20, 24 November 2020 diff hist +4,935 User:Jrsauer/sandbox →Treatment: This edit includes drafting for the pathophysiology section on GAD including my summary of Etkin, which I think is preferable to the use of Etkin that I found in the GAD article before editing this section. Tag: Visual edit
- 20:1820:18, 24 November 2020 diff hist +1,455 Generalized anxiety disorder →Pathophysiology: This edit rephrases some of the pathophysiology discussion and places the use of Etkin (a primary resource) in view of the MGH Clinical Psychiatry text. I'm not terribly committed to keeping Etkin, even though it is a good read. For its background information and tentative use in view of the MGH text, I've left it for now. I don't dislike Etkin and have taken care to draft my own summary of Etkin in my sandbox just for purpose of thinking and drafting. Tag: Visual edit

- 01:4101:41, 24 November 2020 diff hist −5 Generalized anxiety disorder →Substances and Anxiety in GAD: This edit changes the heading for "substances and anxiety in GAD" from a sub-heading under the heading "risk factors" because substances and anxiety in GAD is a separate topic than risk factors for the development of GAD (which fall into three categories for proper GAD developmental theories). This heading has also been moved closer to the end of the article's discussion of pharmacology since substances and anxiety in GAD discuss benzodiazepines. Tag: Visual edit
- 01:3501:35, 24 November 2020 diff hist −499 Generalized anxiety disorder →Other: This edit integrated content that was previously found in "other" at the bottom of the article into the Epidemiology section (which is where the content properly fit). Tag: Visual edit

- 01:0501:05, 24 November 2020 diff hist −931 Generalized anxiety disorder →Substance-induced: This edit revises several quite tenuous associations made about tobacco use and anxiety. Notably, the claim that tobacco use is a risk factor (RF) for developing anxiety disorders cites to Morissette and Morissette states that research on the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and tobacco use "still in its infancy" and that it may "not speak to the exact nature of the relationship between variables." Tag: Visual edit
- 00:4200:42, 24 November 2020 diff hist +25 Generalized anxiety disorder →Genetics: This updates the major heading under risk factors to better reflect the discussion of risk factors studied in the development of GAD - i.e,. biological factors, family and environment. Tag: Visual edit

- 20:3020:30, 23 November 2020 diff hist −1,045 Generalized anxiety disorder →Substance-induced: This edit removes a phrase about panic disorder or social phobia (which are not disorders that are synonymous with GAD) and alcohol / benzodiazepine withdrawal. The phrase cites to an article by Cohen (1995), which is a case study - i.e., primary literature. Cohen makes no mention of GAD. If another editor wishes to make a point about alcohol or benzodiazepine use or withdrawal and GAD, I would respectfully suggest finding a proper review or meta-analysis. Tag: Visual edit
- 20:2220:22, 23 November 2020 diff hist −893 Generalized anxiety disorder →Substance-induced: This edit removes a poorly phrased sentence about alcohol dependence and anxiety disorders. The sentence cited to an article by Cargiulo that merely remarks that alcohol dependence is a comorbidity for some individuals with mood and anxiety disorders such as GAD. If kept in this Wiki article, I would suggest that this would be better situated under comorbidities (and probably from a better article than one "[b]ased on the proceedings of a symposium."

- 18:3618:36, 23 November 2020 diff hist −146 Generalized anxiety disorder →Other: I moved the contents of the risk factors > other to the epidemiology > other section since this is a better location for that information. One sentence that lacked citation was deleted. Tags: Reverted Visual edit

- 21:3321:33, 20 November 2020 diff hist +7,534 Generalized anxiety disorder →Complementary and Alternative (CAM) modalities: This is a major edit that summarises academic findings regarding the yet unproven CAMs investigated by researchers for their potential in treating GAD or GAD symptoms. I think it prudent to include an admonishment to the reader that the summary is academic in nature and therefore cannot offer medical guidance on claims of safety or efficacy. Hopefully other editors will agree with this perspective and will leave this qualification intact. Tag: Visual edit
- 05:0305:03, 20 November 2020 diff hist −17 m Generalized anxiety disorder →References: I'm deleting a citation to a webpage because the other citation given for the same premise is a definitive review text (the MGH Clinical Psychiatry text). Tag: Visual edit
- 05:0005:00, 20 November 2020 diff hist −1,715 Generalized anxiety disorder →Therapy: Respectfully, theories of GAD should be discussed under etiology -- not under treatment modalities. Moreover, components of various treatment modalities should be discussed under each distinct treatment modality. Tag: Visual edit
- 04:5704:57, 20 November 2020 diff hist −1,063 Generalized anxiety disorder →Medications: This edit moves discussion of SNRIs and SSRIs under the pharmacotherapy subheading. Tag: Visual edit
- 04:5104:51, 20 November 2020 diff hist −773 Generalized anxiety disorder →Therapy: This phrase cites to Ruiz (2010), which describes ACT - but doesn't establish ACT as a mainstay of therapy for GAD. In fact, a 2020 publication (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: Integrating Traditional with Digital Treatment Approaches; PMID 32002935) cites ACT along with mindfulness therapies as trending -- i.e., not yet established for treating GAD. Tag: Visual edit
- 04:2804:28, 20 November 2020 diff hist −2,791 Generalized anxiety disorder →Cognitive behavioral therapy: The old paragraph on CBT was poorly referenced and phrased. One might not object to parts of it returning to the body of this article elsewhere (e.g., integrated above in the new CBT section), but it would need additional citation to review articles and other reputable sources (rather than websites, even to the Mayo Clinic) and better phrasing (e.g., "working with the person" -- presumably this is a person undergoing therapy). Tag: Visual edit
- 04:2204:22, 20 November 2020 diff hist −1,842 Generalized anxiety disorder →Cognitive behavioral therapy: This entire paragraph cites a single time to one primary article in the journal of Psychiatric annals. Tag: Visual edit
- 04:1604:16, 20 November 2020 diff hist −1,845 Generalized anxiety disorder →Benzodiazepines: The old discussion of benzodiazepines cited websites and primary literature. So I have removed the old language discussing benzodiazepines. Tag: Visual edit
- 04:1004:10, 20 November 2020 diff hist −256 Generalized anxiety disorder →Serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors: The fact that duloxetine may be suggested for other conditions isn't relevant to its use in treating GAD. Tag: Visual edit
- 04:0604:06, 20 November 2020 diff hist −70 Generalized anxiety disorder →Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: Baldwin is primary literature (a worldwide survey). Oddly, the percentages offered by Baldwin don't add up to 100%. Without more, using Baldwin (a mere survey) to suggest a first-line treatment isn't something one find desirable in a Wikipedia article. Tag: Visual edit
- 03:5603:56, 20 November 2020 diff hist −19 m Generalized anxiety disorder →Medications: This edit just moved a statement about an international review to a better location for the phrase. Tag: Visual edit
- 03:4003:40, 20 November 2020 diff hist −258 Generalized anxiety disorder →Cognitive behavioral therapy: The deleted sentence cites to Hoyer, which supports its 50% claim by citing to Bradley as well as Hunot. Bradley doesn't actually make any substantive conclusions about GAD or CBT (just generally musing about evidence-based care) while Hunot concludes that CBT is more effective for treating GAD than doing nothing (i.e., being placed on a waiting list as a control condition) or "treatment as usual," which is a broad group. Tag: Visual edit
- 03:1403:14, 20 November 2020 diff hist −243 Generalized anxiety disorder →Cognitive behavioral therapy: The sentence removed claimed that about 1/3 of "patients" (presumably GAD patients) respond to CBT. The statement cites to a text by Barlow. But Barlow actually has no teaching directly on GAD even while it does cite several other sources discussing GAD in passing (e.g., GAD and OCD symptoms in therapist vs self-exposure therapy, pg. 164). Barlow simply doesn't speak to GAD as suggested. Tag: Visual edit

- 02:5202:52, 20 November 2020 diff hist +16,152 Generalized anxiety disorder →Treatment: This is a major edit that provides a summary of treatment modalities.

- 02:3802:38, 20 November 2020 diff hist −702 Generalized anxiety disorder →Treatment: The statement itself is not clear whether it is in regard to CBT and pharmacological intervention given together or given separately. Regardless, the statement cites to a primary resource by Crits-Christoph et al. and the conclusion of these authors is that "[n]o benefit was found for adding CBT to medication treatment as compared to medication alone." Thus, authors in this article did not conclude that CBT and pharmacological treatment were equivalent or the like. Tag: Visual edit
- 02:3002:30, 20 November 2020 diff hist −630 Generalized anxiety disorder →Treatment: The statement cites to Gould et al. (1997) -- which states that CBT's lack of strict control conditions resulted in an apparent benefit to CBT. Thus, Gould et al. concluded that CBT seemed to have a given benefit, but that this may have been an artifact of different control conditions between pharmacological and psychological intervention arms. More recent meta-analyses offer more circumspect positions on the differences b/w CTB and pharmacology treatments. Tag: Visual edit

- 00:0400:04, 20 November 2020 diff hist −702 Generalized anxiety disorder →Genetics: I have removed the statement about there being only about 1/3 "variance" in GAD, etc. -- which cited to the Hettema article. Hettema is quite a good citation (thank you). However, The only place I have found invoking roughly a 1/3 figure in Hettema is in regard to anxiety disorders overall (including GAD). Thus, I have rephrased and deleted the original assertion in regard to Hettema. Tag: Visual edit
