| Popis: | Some 15% of the population suffer from pathological anxiety, making it the most common of all psychiatric conditions (Costa E Silva, 1998). Anxiety disorders are poorly conceptualized, rarely diagnosed and inadequately treated (Hale, 1997). They are taken for granted, yet remain a major source of emotional distress, chronic morbidity and high health-care resource utilization. Greater awareness, earlier recognition and more aggressive treatments would improve the prognosis, and overcome the stigmatization and undervaluation of patients with these disorders (Lloyd et al, 1996). |
