Overview
The goal of this course is to provide an overview of anxiety disorders, treatments, and recent advances in understanding anxiety in adults.
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric disorders, affecting millions of adults. These disorders fill people's lives with overwhelming fear, uncertainty, and anxiety.
It is common for people to experience mild, brief anxiety caused by stressful events like job interviews or first dates. However, individuals with anxiety disorders experience symptoms that are out of proportion to any actual danger, or their symptoms persist for significant periods of time. Anxiety disorders can become progressively worse if not treated. Further, anxiety disorders frequently occur in conjunction with other psychiatric or physical illnesses, which can make anxiety symptoms worse.
The goal of this course is to provide addictions, behavioral health counseling, marriage and family therapy, psychology, nursing, and social work professionals in health and human services settings with an overview of anxiety disorders, psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments, and recent advances in understanding anxiety in adults.
- Summarize the symptoms, prevalence rates, and impact of anxiety disorders.
- Describe evidence-based psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions for anxiety disorders.
- Discuss at least three recent developments in the treatment of anxiety disorders.
