Patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) suffer
the symptoms of psychological distress including
excessive and uncontrollable anxiety about everyday
things. These symptoms are assumed to be related with
neural dysfunction or malfunction. The purpose of this
study was to investigate cerebral abnormalities in the
overall gray matter (GM) volumes and metabolite
concentration in patients with GAD using the voxel-based
morphometry (VBM) and localized 1H-MR spectroscopy (MRS).
