Anxiety disorders are among the most common psychiatric disorders in the general population and among patients in primary care settings. However, the majority of anxiety disorders go unrecognized and untreated in primary care practices. The most common anxiety disorders in primary care settings are panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. These disorders are readily treated with medications and/or evidence-based therapies once accurately identified and diagnosed. This chapter will describe targeted, high-yield screening practices for anxiety disorders, as well as collaborative, integrated treatment pathways for primary care settings and integrated health care environments.
