概述
This guideline is a partial update of the first guideline on anxiety published in December 2004, which looked at the management of generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia (NICE, 2004a). The present guideline updates part of the original guideline on the management of GAD; panic
disorder is not included.1 Other anxiety disorders for which there are NICE guidelines
are post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
(NICE, 2005a; 2005b). The guideline does not address the management of GAD in
children and young people.
