ABSTRACT
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses and frequently co-occur with other mental and somatic symptoms or disorders. Primary care nurse practitioners (NPs) are key in reducing the treatment gap through early identification, treatment, and/ or referral to behavioral health provid-ers. Confronting primary care NPs are problems with time constraints, multiple comorbidities, and limited mental health training, particularly in relation to the differences in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic actions of first-line anxiety disorder medications across age groups. The current article provides a brief summary of evidence-based treatment focusing on pharmacotherapy for anxiety disorders in the primary care setting.
