Course description
Anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and various phobias) are the most common form of psychiatric illness. They can be treated effectively with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and/or pharmacotherapy.
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) now recommends screening for anxiety disorders in all children ≥8 years old and adults ≤64 years old, including pregnant and postpartum persons. No recommendation has been made for those ≤7 years old or ≥65 years old because of insufficient evidence.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
