Write a 300 – 600 word essay comparing and contrasting  two anxiety or stress disorders (for example, Generalized Anxiety Disorder vs. Post-traumatic stress disorder). 1) Do you agree with the diagnostic criteria? Why or why not? 2) Based on the criteria, is it too “easy” or too “hard” for a person to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder? Explain.  For a top score, provide a substantive comparison (similarities) and contrast (differences) between the diagnostic criteria for the two anxiety disorders. Standard English grammar and usage is expected.  (You can find diagnostic criteria for anxiety disorders in your textbook).
