El trastorno de ansiedad generalizada se caracteriza por miedos irracionales sobre una situación temida, mientras que el trastorno de ansiedad social es caracterizado por miedos relacionados con las situaciones sociales, las cuales intenta evitar. En esta revisión vamos a estudiar la comorbilidad de ambos trastornos y sus consecuencias, ya que con el paso del tiempo estos trastornos hacen que los sujetos que los padecen cambien su estilo de vida por el miedo de enfrentarse a las situaciones temidas. Los dos trastornos son más propensos en mujeres que en hombres y las edades de comienzo el TAG son sobre la edad adolescente-adulta, mientras que las edades de comienzo del TAS son más tempranas. Se relaciona el papel del perfeccionismo con el trastorno de ansiedad social, mostrando que a tasas más altas de perfeccionismo mayores son la probabilidad de tener trastorno de ansiedad social.
Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by irrational fears about a feared situation, while social anxiety disorder is characterized by fears related to social situations, which the individual tries to avoid. In this review, we will study the comorbidity of both disorders and their consequences, since over time these disorders cause sufferers to change their lifestyle due to the fear of facing feared situations. Both disorders are more prevalent in women than in men, and the onset ages for GAD are around adolescence or adulthood, while the onset ages for SAD are earlier. The role of perfectionism is linked to social anxiety disorder, showing that higher rates of perfectionism increase the likelihood of having social anxiety disorder.
