Abstract
The aim was to study the distribution of psychoeducation for anxiety disorders using a two-part survey addressing all psychiatric institutions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We found that 77% of the patients with anxiety disorders participated in psychoeducation when it was offered. However, only 8% of the institutions offered such an intervention. Health care costs and patient suffering could be reduced substantially by offering adequate psychoeducation for anxiety disorders.Entities:
