Approaches to caring for anxious patients

Virtual Event Virtual Event

Patients with anxiety can often overuse health-care resources by presenting multiple health concerns to their physician. Family doctors can face difficulty if the cause of a patient’s concern is anxiety. Diagnosing a patient with anxiety early allows patients to be treated for anxiety instead of ordering multiple unnecessary tests or counselling patients on why they do not require specific tests. Join us as we discuss how to identify anxiety in patients and how to counsel patients who require frequent tests due to underlying anxiety of health concerns.
