Anxiety is a prevalent problem among Australians.
Over onequarter of adults suffer from anxiety in any given year. The last decade of brain research made possible by advances in brain imaging and neurobiological data has moved the understanding of anxiety disorders into a new dimension. Although we can successfully treat clients/patients without knowing the full implication of research, we can be more effective with more people in less time if we have a grasp of the neurobiology and assist our clients in why and how our treatment methods change brain function.

CONTENT OF WORKSHOP
This workshop focuses on evidence based advances in neurobiological research. It deals with three of the anxiety disorders (Panic Disorder, Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder with some reference to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder).

This 2-day workshop includes an overview of brain anatomy, physiology and neurobiology. Emphasis will be on the neurobiological origins of the above mentioned disorders, the effect of development and social factors in the disorders as well as evidence based strategies for effective treatment.

Many practical handouts will be provided. Information will be complimented with case presentations and interactive discussions.

This is a Level 2 activity – pre-workshop material will be provided
