SUMMARY:Evidence Based Worry Management without Medication
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nNearly everyone worries and more than 1/4 of pe
 ople say they worry too much. In this webinar learn why treating worry
  is the key to improving physical and mental health, including depress
 ion.\nLearn that the best treatment for generalized anxiety disorder (
 excessive worry), is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). While it is b
 est to refer to a therapist specializing in CBT you will learn simple 
 strategies to get patients started.\nWhy should you Attend: More than 
 25% of people report that they worry too much. It has recently become 
 clear that excessive worry leads not only to anxiety, but causes or co
 ntributes significantly to depression, medical conditions (e.g. IBS, c
 ardiovascular disease, skin disorders) and more distressing anxiety di
 sorders (e.g. panic disorder, OCD).\nMedication is usually ineffective
  or only partially effective and side-effects can even exacerbate anxi
 ety, not to mention the risk of dependency. Furthermore, many patients
  would rather avoid medication and some refuse. Cognitive-behavioral t
 herapy (CBT) is very effective in treating GAD.\nFor example, in a stu
 dy in which Dr. Abel was a protocol therapist, over 91% of participant
 s no longer met criteria for GAD (83% at two year follow-up).\nThe pur
 pose of this webinar is two-fold. One is to educate you on the effecti
 veness of cognitive behavioral therapy in the treatment of GAD so that
  you consider referring to a CBT therapist. The other is to provide yo
 u with some simple strategies that you can pass on to your patients in
  less than five minutes.\nAreas Covered in the Session:\nResearch Indi
 cating that worry causes or Contributes to Depression, Medical Problem
 s, and other Anxiety DisordersWhen Worry is Treated these Comorbid Con
