According to the latest draft recommendation by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, routine screenings are considered beneficial for adults under 65, including pregnant and postpartum women without symptoms.
Anxiety disorders are characterized by greater duration or intensity of a stress response over everyday events. The hope is that brief screening tools could help identify it early, especially since most who suffer, on average, are diagnosed decades after symptoms first start.
“Pandemic anxiety and panic and phobia increased at least 30% more than before,” said Dr. Asim Shah, Baylor College of Medicine Psychiatry Professor and Executive Vice Chair. “2020 and 2021 was the worst year for anxiety.” Although, there’s really no plan to begin screening or training doctors to follow through with anxiety treatments.
“Easy to say, ‘Do this and do that.’ Do [doctors] have time to do that? And even if they do, even if they carve out the time to do it, where will they refer the patient? They may not have the expertise to treat anxiety disorders,” Dr. Shah said.
