This new 6-hour program describes the anxiety disorders, common
coexisting conditions, such as depression, eating disorders and insomnia
and evidence-based treatments. Although anxiety-related disorders often
undermine the quality of life, most forms of anxiety can be effectively treated.
Participants completing this program should be able to:
1) Describe diagnostic criteria and treatment of panic disorder, phobic
disorder, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety,
mixed anxiety-depression, and posttraumatic stress.
2) Develop strategies for managing and preventing recurrent anxiety
associated with professional or lifestyle issues.
Panic Disorder
• Diagnosis: intense fight-or-flight symptoms; triggers.
• Agoraphobia: avoidance of situations and sites associated with panic.
• Treatment: why cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), “in vivo”
exposure techniques, or controlled breathing are effective in over
80% of clients.
Social Anxiety Disorder
• Symptoms: embarrassment, shame, and avoidance of social
situations; how much of introversion is inherited, how much is a
way of coping?
• Treatment: CBT, tailored group therapy, and pharmacotherapy.
Phobic Disorder
• Diagnosis: what initiates a fear of nightmare intensity?
• Treatment: “ in vivo” exposure and CBT for specific phobias.
• Management: helping people overcome phobic disorders in
medical, dental, home and school settings.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Origins: what underlies repetitive, ritualistic thoughts and behaviors?
• Common Obsessions: contamination, doubt, body concerns,
sexual, aggression.
• Common Compulsions: checking, cleaning, counting, confiding.
• OCD Spectrum Disorders: Tourette’s syndrome, hypochondriasis,
skin picking, nail biting, kleptomania, jealousy, gambling and
compulsive shopping.
• Treatment: exposure, response prevention, CBT, and pharmacotherapy.
• Management: OCD at home and at work: helpful guidelines.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
• Diagnosis: excessive anxiety of at least 6 months; restlessness,
fatigue, irritability and insomnia.
• Treatment: tailored CBT, anxiety-management training,
controlled breathing and pharmacotherapy.
Mixed Anxiety And Depression
• Diagnosis: the role of low-grade, everyday dysthymic disorders
versus psychobiological depression; relation to eating disorders.
• Treatment: effectiveness of CBT; pharmacotherapy; guidelines
for pharmacists concerning adverse interactions with other drugs,
OTC products and nutrients.
• Sleep: anxiety and depression: how they each affect sleep (falling
and staying asleep).
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Primary PTSD: horror frozen in memory in children and adults;
diagnosing the aftermath of domestic violence, sexual assault, or
combat.
• Symptoms and the Brain: flashbacks, dissociation and shrinkage
of the hippocampus; hypervigilance, disturbed sleep and expansion
of the amygdala.
• Secondary PTSD: health workers at-risk of experiencing other’s
trauma.
• Treatment: cognitive restructuring, EMDR, SSRIs, beta blockers
and newer drugs. Is PTSD a lifelong disorder?
Clinical Insights and Tools
• Close Relationships: daily habits of people who maintain close
relationships.
• Problem Solving: how to dispute irrational fears using the
ABCDE method.
• Social Intelligence: how to reframe issues to resolve conflicts.
