  • Title: [Anxiety-ridden patients in the doctor's office].
    Author: Wedekind D, Bandelow B.
    Journal: MMW Fortschr Med; 2004 Aug 19; 146(33-34):24-6. PubMed ID: 15526621.
    Abstract:
    Initially, patients with anxiety syndromes consult the general practitioner complaining of physical symptoms. After an appropriate differential diagnostic work-up, the family doctor can therefore check whether the patient might possibly be suffering from an anxiety disorder. For the treatment of such disorders, psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological strategies all have a role to play. The general practitioner can initiate supportive medication before referring the patient to a specialist. Early detection and treatment of an anxiety disorder can prevent the condition from becoming chronic and may also obviate the need for unnecessary repeated diagnostic measures and treatments.
