Homoeopathic Perspectives in the Management of Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are very common nowadays. Symptoms can be mild or severe that cause great personal distress, and which impair social and occupational function. Core features include excessive fear and anxiety or avoidance of perceived threats that are persistent and impairing. Anxiety disorders involve dysfunction in brain circuits that respond to danger. The need for treatment is determined by the severity and persistence of symptoms, the level of associated disability and impact on everyday life, the presence of co-existing depressive symptoms, and other features such as a good response to or poor tolerability of previous treatment approaches.
