Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and General Practice
  • Pharmacology and Psychotherapy

Context:

  • High prevalence of anxiety disorders necessitates effective primary care management.
  • General practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in initial anxiety disorder treatment.

Purpose:

  • To outline psychopharmacological and therapeutic strategies for anxiety disorders in primary care.
  • To differentiate treatment approaches for generalized anxiety disorder versus panic disorder.

Summary:

  • First-line psychopharmacological treatments include benzodiazepines and antidepressants.
  • Alternative options like low-potency neuroleptics, beta-blockers, and kava-kava are suitable for specific patient profiles.
  • Distinguishing generalized anxiety disorder from panic disorder is critical, with antidepressants (e.g., Imipramine, SSRIs) being preferred for panic disorder. Combination therapy with psychotherapy (relaxation, behavior therapy) is recommended for optimal outcomes.
