Assignment: Assessing and Treating Clients With Anxiety Disorders
Common symptoms of anxiety disorders include chest pains,
shortness of breath, and other physical symptoms that may be
mistaken for a heart attack or other physical ailment. These
manifestations often prompt clients to seek care from their primary
care providers or emergency departments. Once it is determined that
there is no organic basis for these symptoms, clients are typically
referred to a psychiatric mental health practitioner for anxiolytic
therapy. For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in
this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and
treat clients presenting with anxiety disorders.Assignment: Assessing
