Anxiety: management of anxiety (panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia, and generalised anxiety disorder) in adults in primary, secondary and community care. (CG22)
The NICE anxiety clinical guideline covers the care of adults who have panic disorder (with or without agoraphobia) or generalised anxiety disorder. The recommendations address:
- diagnosis
- medication
- psychological treatments
- self-care
The guideline does not cover the care of people with other anxiety disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder or obsessive compulsive disorder, which will be addressed in separate guidelines.
The guideline does not cover the care of people who have both anxiety and Depression. NICE has also issued a guideline on Depression.
Amendment of recommendations concerning venlafaxine: April 2007
On 31 May 2006 the MHRA issued revised prescribing advice for venlafaxine. This amendment brings the guideline into line with the new advice but does not cover other areas where new evidence may be available. NICE expects to make a decision on a full update later in 2007.
The amendments to the recommendations to take account of the revised prescribing advice for venlafaxine were developed by the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health.

Depression: management of Depression in primary and secondary care - NICE guidance (CG23)
The NICE clinical guideline on Depression covers:
- the care people with Depression can expect to receive from their GP or other healthcare professionals, whether they receive treatment in or out of hospital
- the information they can expect to receive about their problem and its treatment
- what they can expect from treatment, including psychological therapies, drug treatment and electroconvulsive therapy
- the kind of services that help people with Depression, including your GP, specialist mental health services and hospital care
The guideline looks at Depression in people aged 18 years and older, and covers mild to severe Depression. It does not specifically look at:
- Depression in children
- dysthymia
- postnatal Depression
- seasonal affective disorder
- people with Depression who have a separate physical or mental illness
