BACKGROUND Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common and serious disease with a lifetime prevalence of 4.3% to 5.9%. It is underdiagnosed in primary care. METHODS Recommendations on the treatment of GAD are given on the basis of all available findings from pertinent randomized trials, retrieved by a selective search of the literature. RESULTS Among psychotherapeutic techniques, various kinds of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have been found useful in controlled trials. The drugs of first choice include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and the calcium-channel modulator pregabalin. Tricyclic antidepressants are also effective but have more adverse effects than SSRIs. Although benzodiazepines are effective anxiolytic agents for short-term use, they should not be given over the long term because of the danger of addiction. Buspirone, an azapirone, was found to be effective in a small number of trials, but the findings across trials are inconsistent. The response rate of GAD to CBT in published studies lies between 47% and 75%, while its response rate to drug treatment lies between 44% and 81%. CONCLUSION The treatment of GAD with CBT and drugs is evidence-based and has a good chance of improving the manifestations of the disorder.

Psychische Widerstandsfähigkeit, Wohlbefinden und Depression im Alter — Ergebnisse aus der Berliner Altersstudie

Michael Linden; H. Mayer; Sharon M. Smith; Ursula M. Staudinger

Die in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu beobachtende Zunahme der durchschnittlichen Lebenserwartung wirft die Frage auf, inwieweit dies eine Zunahme an lebens-werten Jahren ist, oder ob es eine durch Verschlechterung der korperlichen Gesundheit, Verlust von nahestehenden Personen oder Verlust der Selbstandig-keit gekennzeichnete Phase der Belastung und Muhsal bedeutet (1). Die Frage ist, wie alte Menschen auf die altersassoziierten negativen Lebensveranderun-gen reagieren und welche Konsequenzen sich fur die Lebenszufriedenheit und das subjektive Wohlbefinden daraus ergeben. In der Literatur wird unter dem Stichwort des Wohlbefindensparadox darauf hingewiesen, das es keine 1:1-Beziehung zwischen negativen Lebensveranderungen einerseits und Einbusen im subjektiven Wohlbefinden andererseits gibt, sondern das auch alte Menschen trotz aller Einschrankungen ihr Leben weiterhin genieBen konnen und mit ihrem Leben insgesamt nicht unzufriedener zu sein scheinen als jungere Men-schen.
