Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States. Afflicting 19.1 million American adults between the ages of 15 and 54 (or 13% of the population), anxiety disorders are so common today it is impossible to remain untouched by them, directly or indirectly. While fear and anxiety can serve as tools for survival, uncontrolled they lead to serious health concerns. Despite these facts and the known risks, few feel the need to educate themselves about the various dangers caused by anxiety until a medical crisis forces them to take action. Anxiety Disorders explains the medical conditions and jargon used by medical professionals to describe and treat the problems caused by anxiety. The book identifies the origins of, symptoms and treatments for: Panic attacks Obsessive-compulsive behavior Post-traumatic stress Phobias Anxiety disorders are by definition terrifying and crippling, but they are treatable.

Anxiety affects millions, manifesting as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, phobias, post-traumatic-stress disorder (PTSD), and social anxiety disorder. Not only are anxiety disorders common, but they are also crippling, frequently co-occurring and predict high risk for depressive disorders. Shared mechanisms may explain the overlapping features of many anxiety disorders and account for associations with other highly-impairing conditions, such as major depression and substance use. Beyond risk for specific disorders, anxiety also predicts a number of other adverse outcomes, including suicidal behavior, medical problems, social, and economic difficulties. Conversely, disorder-specific mechanisms may also exist and explain the unique features of each syndrome. Thus, it is important to understand both shared and specific aspects of anxiety. The Primer on Anxiety Disorders provides early-stage practitioners and trainees, as well as seasoned clinicians and researchers, with need-to-know knowledge on diagnosis and treatment. Clinical cases are used throughout the book to enhance understanding of and illustrate specific disorders, comorbid conditions and clinical issues. To facilitate an integrative approach, content allows clinicians to understand patient characteristics and tailor interventions. The integrated approach of each chapter includes recent research on genetics and neuroscience to understand the mechanisms of anxiety disorders, focusing on the forthcoming new nosology in DSM-5. Chapters further integrate innovative advances in clinical research providing research on a range of discoveries regarding biomarkers of illness, biological predictors of treatments and the effect of treatment on neurocircuitry.
