    Abstract:
    A treatment algorithm for anxiety disorders in primary care practice is introduced. Anxiety is understood as a complex pattern which consists of thoughts, emotions, behaviour and physiologic reactions. Patient education is outlined as a crucial factor for the management of anxiety. Some examples of patient education are given. The most important pharmacological agents for the treatment of anxiety are benzodiazepines, antidepressants and buspirone. The drug treatment of some common anxiety disorders is presented. Finally the limits of anxiety management in primary care are discussed and some techniques of cognitive behaviour therapy are outlined.
