Depression and anxiety screenings are now recommended for most adults during primary care visits, according to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
In the latest task force recommendations, adults who test positive in depression and anxiety screening results should be followed up with diagnostic assessments and evidence-based care. Anxiety disorders reviewed include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder.
Treatments for anxiety disorders and depression can include cognitive behavioral therapy and antidepressant medication. If left untreated, anxiety and depression disorders can interfere with daily living.
