Question : 1 / 258

A 27 year old woman comes to your office because she “can’t stop worrying.” About 4 months ago, she was audited by the IRS and was found to owe a significant amount of back taxes. Since then, she says she worries almost every day about how she is going to get the money to pay the taxes and it has been very stressful. She denies worrying about anything else. She says while she is able to sleep OK, she sometimes has upsetting dreams about her home getting taken away. She is having trouble concentrating at work sometimes because she feels “too stressed.” Her partner told her that she is “no fun to be around these days” because of her stress levels and because she only wants to talk about her tax predicament. What is the most likely diagnosis?
