  • Title: [Problems and deficiencies in family physician's management of generalized anxiety disorders. Results of the GAD-P study and priorities for an improved care].
    Author: Wittchen HU, Hoyer J, Beesdo K, Krause P.
    Journal: Fortschr Med Orig; 2001; 119 Suppl 1():42-9. PubMed ID: 11935667.
    Abstract:
    The core findings of the GAD-P study (Generalized anxiety and depression in primary care) are summarized and measures to improve the quality of care of patients with generalized anxiety disorders are discussed. In addition to the identification of core research deficits the paper emphasizes the standard use of time-efficient diagnostic screening instruments, because urgently needed improved recognition and diagnosis is the prerequisite for appropriate treatment. Further the role of the media to combat stigma processes, as well as patient education materials to improve compliance and to enhance treatment outcome effects for this neglected disorder that frequently runs a chronic course are highlighted.
