Résumé
Depuis l’apparition du trouble d’anxiété généralisée (TAG) dans le manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux (DSM) en 1980, la définition et la compréhension de ce trouble ont grandement évolué. Le présent article fait un survol des aspects centraux des écrits sur le TAG en passant par l’historique, la prévalence, les caractéristiques socio-économiques, la comorbidité, le diagnostic différentiel et l’évolution de ce trouble, tout en considérant les questions litigieuses concernant sa classification. L’article présente aussi un compte rendu des études récentes sur le profil cognitif des patients présentant les critères diagnostiques de ce trouble tiré de la psychologie expérimentale cognitive et de la neuropsychologie. Les conséquences sur le fonctionnement cognitif de ces patients sont discutées dans la deuxième section de l’article, de même que les précautions relatives à ce fonctionnement que doivent prendre les cliniciens lors de l’intervention.
Abstract
Since the appearance of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in the 1980 version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the definition and the comprehension of this disorder have largely evolved. The present article is an overview of the principal aspects of GAD in the literature such as the history, the prevalence, the socioeconomic characteristics, the comorbidity, the differential diagnosis and its evolution, while considering the litigious questions concerning its classification. This article also presents a report of the recent studies about the cognitive profile of patients, from a perspective of cognitive experimental psychology and neuropsychology. The consequences on cognitive functioning are discussed in the second part of the article, as well as precautions relatively to functioning clinicians have to consider.
