Assessing and Treating Patients with Anxiety Disorders

Introduction

The patient is a 46-year-old white male who reports to the emergency room complaining

of shortness of breath, chest tightness, and feeling of impending doom. The patient's PCP refers

him to me, and he indicates that he has some mild hypertension that is treated with a low

sodium diet. After reviewing the patient, he is diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder.

The patient's Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) score of 26 is in the borderline of

moderate and high anxiety severity. He is also slightly obese, with about 15lbs. overweight. The

patient had his tonsils removed when he was eight years old but has had an unremarkable

medical history since that time. At the ER, myocardial infarction was ruled out, and his EKG

was normal. The rest of his physical exam was within normal limits.

The patient's social history predisposes him to the diagnosis of generalized anxiety

disorder. He reports that the management at his workplace is harsh, and he fears for his job. The

client is single and is attempting to take care of his aging parents in his home. To combat the

worries about work, the patient drinks three to four beers every night. He struggles with the

work-life balance since he has to put up with the pressure at work and still take care of his

parents. The symptoms have since aggravated, and the patient reports feelings of impending

doom. However, he reports that he has never been on any type of psychotropic medication. The

client is alert, oriented to person, place, time, and event, and appropriately dressed. His speech

is clear, coherent, and goal-oriented. Affect is somewhat blunted but does brighten several times

throughout the clinical interview. His HEENT assessment is normal.

Decision #1: Begin Zoloft 50 mg orally daily
