| Annotation | Generalised anxiety disorder is common and can present in older people, often in conjunction with depressive symptoms. Pharmacological treatments have included tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and antipsychotics, but a selection of new drugs are now specifically licensed for this disorder. Psychological therapies such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), and changing lifestyle factors - such as substance misuse and exercise - are also important to achieve therapeutic success.
