The Politics of Anxiety Disorder Treatments - Who suffers?
CONCLUSION
Whether Panic Disorder is ultimately biological or behavioural in
origin, Short term Cognitive Behaviour Therapy has been demonstrated
to be not just cost effective, but also effective in providing long
term results for people with Anxiety Disorders. Despite the severe
disabilities and the costs associated to the Disorders, people can
'pull themselves together' once they are given the appropriate
education and cognitive behavioural strategies to do so.
If people are diagnosed within an acceptable timeframe, given
patient education and Cognitive Behaviour skills there is no need
for them to ever use medication. With this approach , the Disorders
can be minimised, the disabilities associated to the Disorders
prevented and the costs of the Disorders substantially reduced.
The social justice issues and both the personal and public costs
of these Disorders need to be effectively resolved. The upgrading of
treatment services for our client group, both in the public and
private sector, is long overdue. As previously stated, the
Commonwealth can play a pivotal role in setting more appropriate
treatment standards for people with Anxiety Disorders.
