title: [Guidelines for the treatment of anxiety disorders in adults].
abstract: The treatment of anxiety disorders has considerably improved and become more precise over the last two decades, on the basis of empirical results. The evidence of their efficacy is best established for panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and social phobia. The pharmacological treatment and the psychotherapeutical approaches of these three categories will be briefly reviewed, using data from well conceived studies and recommendations of experts. Thus, for each of these disorders, this article attempts to provide the physician with practical treatment guidelines.
