Anxiety disorder is diagnosed when specific symptoms from the psychological and physical categories are present for two weeks or more. First, specialists rule out other causes and assess the severity of the disorder. A Beck interview, Hospital Anxiety Scale test, Spielberger's or Zung's test are administered.
Treatment for anxiety disorder is selected depending on the form that testing has confirmed and the complexity of the clinical case. Treatment for anxiety disorder may consist of psychological therapy. This involves individual, group or family psychotherapy sessions. Supportive or psychodynamic psychotherapy for anxiety disorders is provided according to individual plans for children, adolescents and adults. Antidepressants, anxiolytics and tranquillizers may also need to be taken (depending on the case). Medications for anxiety disorders are prescribed only by your doctor.
