Experts suggest that adults in the United States regularly screen anxiety disorder

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 21st. An expert funded by the US government formed a regular screening of anxiety disorder under the age of 65.

According to the Associated Press on the 20th, the US Prevention Service Working Group issued a report on the same day, suggesting that doctors were screened for anxiety disorder on adults during the first consultation. The screening can be completed by simple questions. If the clinic has the possibility of anxiety, it is necessary to further make a professional assessment. This is the first time that the working group has suggested to screen for adults with non -anxious symptoms.

This working group said that the above screening suggestions were obtained based on a survey conducted more than two years ago. Although the results of this screening may be error or unnecessary follow -up treatment, regular screening anxiety can promote effective treatment of the disease, which is greater than the disadvantages. As for how long it should be screened, the working group is not clear.

Loro Popet, a member of the working group and one of the reporters, said that in view of the report that the report showed that the problem of psychological diseases related to the new crown epidemic increased, this screening proposal was "very timely." She said that anxiety is the most common psychological health problem in the United States. About 40%of American women are affected by this, and men are affected by 25%.
