Managing psychiatric disorders in primary care: 2. Anxiety.
Most anxious patients are first seen and treated by primary care physicians. Treatment is generally long-term, and often the results are not what either patient or physician would regard as optimal. Nevertheless, timely and appropriate intervention can markedly improve function--it may make the difference between a generally satisfying life and one lived in fear and isolation.
