About the lecture:
Anxiety can be physically, emotionally and socially debilitating. Left untreated, anxiety is associated with other serious illnesses and self-harm. This lecture summarises the recent increase in anxiety recorded in primary care, compares available drug treatments, and examines the treatments used for anxiety in UK primary care. We will also discuss the impact of the pandemic on pre-existing anxiety trends, and what will likely be needed to address anxiety going forward.
