Abstract: |
Common mental health disorders, such as depression, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and social anxiety disorder, may affect up to 15% of the population at any one time. They vary considerably in their severity but all of these conditions can be associated with significant long-term disability. The vast majority of depression and anxiety disorders that are diagnosed are treated in primary care. However, many individuals do not seek treatment and common mental health disorders often go unrecognised. Recognition of anxiety disorders is particularly poor in primary care and only a small minority of people experiencing anxiety disorders ever receive treatment. This full clinical guideline offers evidence-based advice on the care and treatment of adults who have common mental health disorders, with a particular focus on primary care. It brings together advice from existing guidelines and combines it with new recommendations on access to care, assessment and developing local care pathways for common mental health disorders. It also provides advice on treatment and referral. |
