Anxiety: An Integrative Approach

Everyone has anxiety at some time, as we are all faced with uncertainty about the future. A certain amount of anxiety is normal and an adaptive response that has evolved to allow us to avoid danger and to stay alive. Anxiety becomes maladaptive when it interferes with functioning and restricts our life choices.

Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent and cause substantial functional impairment; they constitute the most frequent mental disorders worldwide (WHO, 2022). In the US, an analysis of epidemiologic data concluded that there is a 21% twelve-month prevalence and 34% lifetime prevalence of anxiety (Szuhany, 2022). Social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic, and agoraphobia are the most common anxiety disorders (Szuhany, 2022).

An integrative approach dissolves the artificial boundaries between classical psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and non-pharmacological approaches. This course will cover a variety of integrative modalities, including nutrition, mind-body, movement, manual medicine, Ayurveda, East Asian Medicine, and much more. Explore the latest research and apply the learning in clinical case-based activities.

Course Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Describe the public health impact of anxiety on youth and adult populations.
• Discuss brain circuitry related to anxiety and fear, as well as the sensitization leading to pathology.

• Identify symptoms and characteristics of anxiety disorders in children and adults.

Accreditatie

De volledige term van de AMA punten is AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, dit is de meest algemeen geaccepteerde vorm van CME punten (Continual Medical Education) , oftewel nascholingspunten voor medisch professionals. Deze punten worden in de VS toegekend aan artsen, verpleegkundigen, apothekers en andere zorgverleners wanneer zij bij- en nascholingen volgen om hun kennis en vaardigheden up-to-date te houden. Afhankelijk van je eigen beroepsvereniging zijn deze punten om te zetten naar Nederlandse accreditatiepunten. Deze aanvraag kun jezelf bij je beroepsvereniging doen. Elke beroepsvereniging behandelt deze aanvraag op eigen wijze.

KNMG
Voor huisartsen, medische specialisten en andere artsen: Ondanks dat deze elearning voor Amerikaanse artsen geaccrediteerd is, heeft de KNMG geen accreditatiepunten toegekend. Wel is het mogelijk, zoals vaker bij internationale scholingen/congressen, om met het Amerikaanse certificaat (6,5 AMA) dat je per mail ontvangt, bij je eigen wetenschappelijke vereniging een individueel verzoek tot accreditatie in te dienen.
