Overview

The goal of this session is to present the busy practitioner with a concise review of GAD, panic disorder, and SAD. The presentation will breifly discuss changes in our nosology as we move from DSM 5 to DSM 5TR and any implications this may have for diagnosis of these syndromes. Next, we will discuss an approach to conceptualizing how the social determinants of health and mental health may impact the pathogensis, recognition and treatment of anxiety disorders. The next portion of the presentation will focus on treatment options for patients with anxiety disorders. We will briefly discuss evidence-based psychotherapies and complementary and alternative treatment options but we will focus mainly on exisiting pharmacological treatment approaches for patients with anxiety disorders. We will discuss the value of both FDA-approved and non-FDA approved pharmacological strategies that can be employed depending on the severity and degress of treatment non-response encountered. The final component of this lecutre will explore how new technologies may play a disruptive influence on how we recognize people at risk for developing these syndromes, lead to preventative if not pre-emptive interventions, and may extend our treatment options.
