Generalised Anxiety Disorder: Aetiology, formulation and treatment
Dr Sarah Edelman
|
|
Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is a chronic disorder characterised by excessive worry and accompanying somatic and cognitive symptoms, including muscle tension, restlessness, fatigue, irritability and sleep disturbances. It is one of the most common co-morbid disorders, and is frequently associated with depression, anxiety disorders and medically unexplained symptoms. In spite of moderately high lifetime prevalence (4% – 7%), the diagnosis is frequently missed by mental health practitioners. Because of its chronic course and extensive symptomatology, GAD has the potential to cause substantial disability and dysfunction.
This session will provide an overview of GAD, the key conceptual models and contemporary treatment based on a combination approach, borrowing from CBT, Metacognitive Therapy, ACT and MBSR.
A pub discussion is a relaxed opportunity to observe a presentation on an interesting topic regarding cognitive behavioural therapy. There are opportunities for the willing to engage in a discussion relating to the topic towards the end of the presentation.
