6. A 27-year-old woman comes to the physician because of feelings of anxiety about attending her 10-year high school reunion. She has a 2-year history of profound anxiety, palpitations, and sweating associated with an uneasiness around people; she avoids family gatherings and visiting friends because she is afraid of being embarrassed. She acknowledges that this fear is unreasonable. She does not use illicit drugs but says that alcohol makes her more comfortable around people. Her blood pressure is 130/90 mm Hg, and pulse is 88/min. On physical examination, she appears healthy and well nourished. Occasional wheezing is heard over the left lung field. The remainder of the examination shows no abnormalities. On mental status examination, she appears worried. Her leukocyte count is 9000/mm3 with a normal differential. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A ) Alcohol abuse
B ) Anxiety disorder due to a general medical condition
C ) Asthma
D ) Generalized anxiety disorder
E ) Panic disorder with agoraphobia
F ) Social phobia
