What anxiety disorder has the longest lifetime prevalence?

Which of the following types of anxiety disorders has the highest lifetime prevalence rate? Is it:

A) generalized anxiety disorder
B) panic disorder
C) phobias
D) obsessive-compulsive disorder

i would say phobias because GAD, panic disorder, and obsessive compulsive can sometimes come with Depression.
unless you have reallllyyy bad phobias, i doubt your life expectency will lessen.

Social

They all pretty much are for life.

Out of your selections I would say obsessive-compulsive disorder. A close second would be Social Anxiety Disorder, but that was not one of your choices.

Panic Disorders can be infrequent and phobias are only present when exposed to whatever triggers the phobia (i.e., spiders, heights, etc.).

Best wishes!
