[Treatment of somatic manifestations of anxiety]

The somatic manifestations of anxiety are to distinguish from distress accompanying from distress accompanying the course of severe somatic diseases; they are evoked as are their peculiar clonical aspects in the neurotic, psychosomatic and psychotic register. The methods of their treatment are recalled in two chapters: the therapeutic means - drug therapy and psychotherapy - and the therapeutic strategy. It always passes by an etiologic approach of anxiety, the elucidation of the sense in the patient's history. The doctor-patient relationship is an important determinant in the treatment.
