Using the Learning Resources, explain how the AI response was right or wrong and why. Describe at least one factor that makes the disorder you chose challenging to treat. Based on the readings and the video you watched, identify and explain what you believe is the most promising treatment for this disorder and why you believe it to be the most promising. Explain something surprising, new, or informative that resonated with you from the video.

Question Asked to AI Chatbot:
“What are the DSM-5-TR clinical criteria for diagnosing Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)?”

ChatGPT Response:
According to the DSM-5-TR, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive anxiety and worry occurring more days than not for at least six months about a number of activities or events. The individual finds it difficult to control the worry. The anxiety and worry are associated with at least three (or more) of the following six symptoms: restlessness or feeling keyed up or on edge; being easily fatigued; difficulty concentrating or mind going blank; irritability; muscle tension; and sleep disturbance (difficulty falling or staying asleep, or restless, unsatisfying sleep). The disturbance must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning, and it cannot be attributable to the physiological effects of a substance or another medical condition.
