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.
