D. generalized anxiety disorder

Explanation:

The symptoms that James describes appear to be similar to those of generalized anxiety disorder. People who suffer from this condition constantly worry about everything that happens in their life, to a degree that is not justified by objective evidence. They also tend to feel a constant feeling or dread or uncertainty. Generalized anxiety disorder usually causes physical symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, inability to relax and sleeping problems.
