Guideline for behandling af børn med angstlidelser
Udgivet den 30. november 2007 | Ingen kommentarerSekretariatet for Referenceprogrammer (SfR) under Sundhedsstyrelsen afholdte onsdag den 28. november 2007 en høring om Referenceprogram for voksne med angstlidelser. (Referenceprogram er det saame som guideline). I referenceprogrammet anbefaler man bl.a. af der udarbejdes et Referenceprogram for børn med angstlidelser. Indtil det projekt måske bliver realiseret, kan jeg anbefale at man læser American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry udgave, såkaldte Practice Parameters, der kan hentes fra deres hjemmesider Anxiety Disorders (P-ANX) Vol 46 Feb 2007 . Anbefalingerne blev udgive i tidsskriftet Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry: -

Ny metode for praktiserende læger til at screene for angst
Udgivet den 9. april 2007 | Ingen kommentarerPraktiserende læger ser ofte patienter med angstlidelser i deres privatpraksis uden at der har været enkle og effektive screeningsmetoder. I et nyligt publiceret studie fra USA undersøgte man patienter, der opsøgte privatpraktiserende l�ger. Det viste sig at 19,5 procent af patienterne havde en angstlidelse og af dem med en angstlidelse fik 41 procent ingen behandling mod deres angstlidelse. Den mest almindelige angstlidelse var posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) hos 8.6 procent af patienterne, efterfulgt af generalsieret angst (GAD) hos 7.6 procent, panikangst hos 6.8 procent og social angst hos 6.2 procent. OCD var ikke med i unders�gelsen. Diagnose for en angstlidelse var forbundet med forv�rret funktionel status, flere syge dage og ture til l�gen. Kroenke m.fl. udviklede et enkelt 7 punkts sp�rgeskema kaldet the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)-7 scale, hvilket de mener l�ger kan anvende til nemt at spotte patienter med angstlidelser. -
Intensive Cognitive Behavioural Treatment for children
Udgivet den 5. april 2007 | Ingen kommentarerWhile both intensive and weekly cognitive-behavioural treatment (CBT) eventually provide similar extent of improvement for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), intensive treatment may be "somewhat more expedient," researchers reported here at the 27th Annual Meeting of the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA). Eric A. Storch, PhD, assistant professor, departments of psychiatry and paediatrics, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, United States, and associates randomised 40 children and adolescents with OCD to weekly or intensive CBT. "Cognitive-behavioural treatment with exposure and response prevention alone or with concurrent pharmacotherapy is the first-line therapy for OCD," Dr. Storch said in his presentation on March 31st. "However, a primary limitation remains access to practitioners since most research on CBT has been done in specialised academic centres rather than in routine clinical settings. Thus, patient access to treatment is limited by the availability of trained therapists, and most patients receive no treatment, medication alone, and/or non-CBT psychotherapy." A potential solution, he added, is intensive CBT. -
