Tim has been worried about his grades for more than three months. After hearing about the diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder, he becomes convinced that he has the disorder himself. After seeing a mental health professional, what is he told?

The mental health professional tells him he does't meat the criteria for general anxiety disorder, because of the number and lenght of his worries.

Explanation:

The mental health professional tells him he doesn't have an anxiety disorder, so his grade problems are not explained by this disorder. This doesn't mean he cannot benefit from talking to a psychology about his problems.

The mental health professional told Tim that it takes 6months of constant worrying to diagnose or ascertain generalized anxiety disorder. So since Tim hasn't met the criteria,he doesn't have a generalized anxiety disorder.

Tim can also be assessed for other types of anxiety disorders by a mental health professional to know the one he is obviously suffering from and the possible ways to help him overcome the anxiety.
