The course describes in detail the key elements of anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social and generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and phobias, and discusses treatment planning, including both psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic approaches to each specific anxiety disorder.
