Summary
Chapter 7 covers the topic of generalised anxiety disorder. Through a case vignette with topical MCQs for consolidation of learning, readers are brought through the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with generalised anxiety disorder. We delineate the investigations to rule out organic causes and explore treatment options and its side effects. Topics covered include the symptoms, investigations, differential diagnoses, treatment of generalised anxiety disorder including pharmacological and psychological therapies.
