Generalised Anxiety Disorder in Adults

This guideline is an update of NICE’s previous guidance on generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It reviews the evidence for low- and high-intensity psychological interventions and drug treatments. Also, it gives an insight into the experience of care of people with GAD, which is a common mental health problem and often co-occurs with other anxiety and depressive disorders.
