• Abstract:

  Aging is natural and expected for everyone who goes through all stages of life successfully. With the occurrence of this physiological phenomenon of life, many elderly people are led to the development of psychological and psychiatric disorders, which, in clinical terms, consist of the main health problems of the geriatric population. Therefore, the present work seeks to establish the relationship between Generalized Anxiety Disorder and quality of life of the geriatric population that has the referred disorder. It must be borne in mind that aging is a socio-vital, multifaceted, irreversible process and the fate of everyone who goes through and completes adulthood. Therefore, understanding this phase and the anxiolytic pathology is paramount within the health area.
