On the occasion of the Congress of the Encephalon which is held from January 19 to 21 at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, we are talking regarding anxiety disorders.
If anxiety is a normal feeling of worry, anxiety, it can become disabling by becoming chronic. Frequent, anxiety disorders would affect approximately, each year, 2 to 8% of the adult population. Among these disorders, psychic distress stands out, which can prevent action or even lead to making bad decisions. How to identify these anxiety disorders? What support is there?
