Background: Few studies have studied the effectiveness of the Dagas model and the effect of the variables that cause the Anxiety disorders, and most researchers have focused on the factors that maintain and sustain the Anxiety disorder. However, there is a research gap in the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on Dogas model of morbid morbidity, severity of symptoms and causative factors of diffuse anxiety disorder in patients with diffuse diffuse anxiety disorder. Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on Dogas model of morbid morphology, severity of symptoms and causative factors of diffuse anxiety disorder in patients with diffuse anxiety disorder. Method: The research was semi-experimental (pre-test, post-test and follow-up) with the control group.

Data analysis was performed by covariance test and Crowit Machli test. Results: Dagas cognitive therapy on pathological anxiety, severity of GAD symptoms, and GAD etiological factors (negative orientation to the problem, intolerance of uncertainty, cognitive avoidance and positive beliefs about Concern had a significant effect (P< 0/05).
