Abstract

D'AVILA, Lívia Ivo et al. Pathological process of anxiety disorder according to the digital literature available in portuguese - integrative review. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.2, pp.155-168. ISSN 2177-093X.  https://doi.org/10.20435/pssa.v0i0.922.

With the objective of discussing the strategic possibilities regarding the pathological processes that involve anxiety disorder, to support the professionals about anxiety and its types, this study is configured as a systematized integrative research, with an online search of scientific productions in the Virtual Health Library database, using the descriptors "Anxiety disorder", "Anxiety" and "Anxiety treatment", published in journals of strata of A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, and B4, available for download, written in the Portuguese language. The findings identify that the strategic possibilities for this disorder are given by two categories, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanized Treatment and Family Support, the latter being more effective when associated with the use of other treatments for anxiety. The importance of studies and training to effectively act in the prevention and treatment of this pathology is emphasized, as well as more studies on the subject.
