Although aimed mainly at the primary care practitioner, it also addresses many questions asked about anxiety by other physicians, practice and community psychiatric nurses, trainee psychiatrists, and patients. Some frequently asked patient questions, in non-medical language, are included, and there is a list of sources of further information and patient support.Uses a question-and-answer format to facilitate reference. Explores the benefits and side effects of the newest drugs. Covers both common and uncommon clinical issues. Answers questions frequently asked by patients and their families. Lists useful web sites, associations, and patient resources.
