The work proposes a reflection on the global treatment modality of generalized anxiety disorder (Gad), certainly one of the most frequent anxiety disorders in a general medicine clinic, focusing on the approach and management of the patient from a human point of view rather than on the specific field of drug treatment. The psychological aspect, often underestimated, plays a fundamental role in the integrated treatment of patients with this disorder and it's an essential element in the healing process. The usefulness of psychological support is too often poorly considered in general medicine clinics, while its scientific value has also been recognized by Evidence Based Medicine. In particular, cognitive-behavioral therapy (Cbt) represents the treatment of first choice for various psychopathological pictures with demonstrated efficacy, according to many scientific studies and to international guidelines for diagnosis and treatment in the psychological and psychiatric field, as the NICE guidelines (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excelence, 2011).
