Unspecified Anxiety Disorder diagnostic criteria 300.00 (F41.9):
This category applies to presentations in which symptoms characteristic of an anxiety disorder that causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning predominate but do not meet the full criteria for any of the disorders in the anxiety disorders diagnostic class. The unspecified anxiety disorder category is used in situations in which the clinician chooses not to specify the reason that the criteria are not met for specific anxiety disorder, and includes presentations in which there is insufficient information to make a more specific diagnosis (e.g. in emergency room settings).
