Description of CME Course

Anxiety disorders are serious medical illnesses that cause disabling anxiety and fear. Unlike episodic anxiety caused by a stressful event such as a business presentation or a first date, anxiety disorders are relentlessly distressing, disrupting patients’ lives with irrational fear and dread. Effective treatments are available, and research is yielding improved therapies that can help most people with anxiety disorders lead fulfilling lives. In this module we focus on the more common generalized anxiety and panic disorders.

Diplomate Engagement

Self-assessment questions tailored to each specific module topic are required upon module completion. Multiple choice questions required; open-ended discussion questions are optional.
