Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Generalized Anxiety Disorder Overview
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by persistent and exaggerated anxiety and worry about everyday life events with no obvious reasons for worry. People with GAD may anticipate disaster and may be overly concerned about money, health, family, work, or other issues. Individuals with GAD find it difficult to control their worry. They may worry more than seems warranted about actual events or may expect the worst even when there is no apparent reason for concern. According to Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), GAD affects around 6.8 million adults or 3.1% of the US adult population in any given year and the criteria used for diagnosis was based on DSM-IV. However, latest DSM-V yielded an influx of new GAD cases which give rise to the prevalence rate as well in adult population (i.e. 12-month prevalence rate is 4% in the US adult population). Women are twice as likely to be affected. GAD can begin at any point in the life cycle but usually develops between childhood and middle age. People with GAD experience a combination of emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms that often fluctuate, becoming worse at times of stress. The anxiety is often associated with physical symptoms, such as sleep disturbance, restlessness, muscle tension, gastrointestinal symptoms, and chronic headaches and others. It also includes several psychological symptoms.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder Diagnosis
GAD is diagnosed when a person finds it difficult to control worry on more days than not for at least 6 months. An evaluation of symptom criteria, as outlined in DSM-5, is the first step for diagnosis followed by physical exam, blood tests, urine tests, gastric reflux tests, such as an X-ray of the digestive system or an endoscopy procedure to look at the esophagus, and stress tests.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder Treatment
• Treatment prescribed by the doctor depends on many factors, including symptoms intensity and duration, impact on the patient’s ability to function in daily life, comorbid conditions such as depression, and medical conditions. Patients with mild anxiety and worry who do not meet the DSM-V criteria for GAD often benefit from supportive therapy and encouragement.
• The standard category of pharmacological agents used in the management of GAD includes Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs), Selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), Pregabalin, Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), Benzodiazepines, Antihistamines, Atypical antipsychotics, Antioxidants, and others
• SSRIs and SNRIs (Citalopram, Escitalopram, Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline, Duloxetine, Venlafaxine XR etc.) and buspirone are considered as first treatment strategy.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Epidemiology
The GAD epidemiology division provides the insights about historical and current GAD patient pool and forecasted trend for each seven major countries.

• The severity of GAD Is divided into mild, moderate, or severe based on the number of criteria symptoms such as a functional disability in work role performance, household maintenance, social life, and intimate relationships with the severity of the symptoms.
• In 2017, there were 238,201 mild cases, 459,904 moderate cases and 333,070 severe cases of GAD in the US. The overall children and adolescent specific severity specific cases of GAD are subjected to increase in the coming years.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder Emerging Drugs
Troriluzole: BioHaven Pharmaceuticals
Troriluzole is a third-generation pro drug and new chemical entity that modulates glutamate, the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the human body. The primary mode of action of troriluzole is reducing synaptic levels of glutamate. Troriluzole monotherapy at 100mg twice daily did not differentiate from placebo on the primary endpoint of the mean change from baseline on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) after eight weeks of treatment.
BNC210: Bionomics
Bionomics' first in class small molecule BNC210, is a negative allosteric modulator of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in development for the treatment of anxiety disorders, co-morbid anxiety and depression. Single doses of BNC210 have been evaluated in GAD patients in a fMRI study with the emotional faces task, and a behavioral study with the joystick operated runway task.
PH94B: Pherin Pharmaceuticals/VistaGen Therapeutics
VistaGen’s PH94B neuroactive nasal spray is fundamentally different from all current drug treatments for GAD. PH94B binds to nasal chemosensory receptors which activate neural circuits that lead to rapid suppression of fear and anxiety. With its novel mechanism of pharmacological action, rapid-onset of therapeutic effects and exceptional safety and tolerability profile shown in clinical trials to date.
