OVERVIEW:
Post-Pandemic Anxiety hits different; which is why assessing anxiety in 2022 needs to have a different approach.

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this 1-hour presentation, attendees will be able to:
1) Identify anxiety in different populations
2) Know DSM anxiety disorder criteria
3) Discuss patients' responsibility in the treatment process
4) Understand treatment options for anxiety
