Psychoeducation in anxiety disorders: Results of a survey of all psychiatric institutions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Christine Rummel-Kluge et al. Psychiatry Res. .

Abstract

The aim was to study the distribution of psychoeducation for anxiety disorders using a two-part survey addressing all psychiatric institutions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We found that 77% of the patients with anxiety disorders participated in psychoeducation when it was offered. However, only 8% of the institutions offered such an intervention. Health care costs and patient suffering could be reduced substantially by offering adequate psychoeducation for anxiety disorders.
