thinkanxiety.org - A new study by researchers led by Kurt Kroenke,
M.D., of the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Regenstrief
Institute, Inc. reports that nearly 20 percent of patients seen by
primary care physicians have at least one anxiety disorder. The study
outlines the effectiveness of a new screening tool which can alert
busy primary care physicians to those patients with one or more
anxiety disorders. The study is published in the March 6 issue of the
Annals of Internal Medicine.

The GAD-7, a seven-question, self-administered screening tool,
identifies patients with undiagnosed generalized anxiety disorder,
panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder or social anxiety
disorder. The new study, which looked at 965 patients in 15 primary
care clinics, found anxiety to be as prevalent as depression, and much
more common than previously thought, in patients who were visiting a
physician for a physical problem or illness.

"Anxiety often manifests as a physical symptom like pain, fatigue, or
inability to sleep, so it is not surprising that one out of five
patients who come to a doctor's office with a physical complaint have
anxiety," said Dr. Kroenke, I.U. School of Medicine professor of
medicine and Regenstrief Institute, Inc. research scientist. Dr.
Kroenke, an internist, is an internationally recognized researcher who
studies physical symptoms, especially pain, and their links to mental
disorders including anxiety and depression. ..continua.

The facts about forgiveness are incredibly simple: the only time we need to contemplate giving forgiveness is when we are asked to give it; if we are asked to forgive someone who has violated the law or our human rights the answer must be "No." - any other answer is not only condoning their behaviour/actions it is a clear invitation for them to do it to us again. ...
