Generalised anxiety disorder and panic disorder in adults: management
NICE (UK) · 2011 · CG113
UK national guidance on care and treatment for adults aged 18 and over with generalised anxiety disorder or panic disorder. It describes principles of care and a stepped-care treatment structure, with remission of symptoms as the stated goal. Last substantively updated in 2020 and reviewed in 2024, when duplicated recommendations were removed. Note that it does not cover social anxiety disorder, OCD or PTSD, which have separate NICE guidance.

What changed recently
- EUCG22 (2004) → CG1132011-01-01
CG113 updates and replaces the 2004 CG22 anxiety guideline and tightens the position on benzodiazepines, which are no longer acceptable as an adjunct to antidepressant treatment for generalised anxiety disorder and are restricted to short-term use during a crisis. It sets out a stepped-care structure running from education and active monitoring through low-intensity self-help to high-intensity CBT or applied relaxation, with SSRIs as the first-choice drug treatment.
