title: [Pathologic worry].
abstract: "Pathologic worry" is a new term in the ICD-10 and DSM-IV-classification of anxiety disorders. Worry is a common symptom in psychiatric disorders, special in depression and specific for GAD. The new scales DANDTE (self-Rating-Inventory) and BOEAS (observer Rating Scale) were developed for the clinical routine and provide an economic and precise rating also for other anxiety symptoms. In the pharmacotherapy SSRI and SNRI are the first line, but also Buspiron, Opipramol and Pregabalin are possible agents in the short-term and long-term therapy. Cognitive behaviour therapy is a proofed psychotherapeutic alternative approach.
