Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common condition defined as chronic, excessive worry for at least 6 months that causes distress or impairment, and is hard to control. It is in part a diagnosis of exclusion: physical examination and laboratory studies are generally normal if no co-existing physical or mental health conditions or substance misuse issues exist. Treatment is primarily with psychotherapy (usually cognitive behavioural therapy), serotonergic antidepressants or a combination of these approaches. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at how best to diagnose GAD, what treatment options should be considered, possible differential diagnoses and the long-term outlook for patients.
