Abstract

Objective: Anxiety disorders represent an important part of mental health problems in primary care. This literature review seeks to find out whether collaborative care (called “matrix support” in Brazil) assists the treatment of anxiety disorders and/or anxiety symptoms. Methods: We performed a literature search with no time period restriction using PubMed, ISI, and LILACS PSYCINFO databases. The descriptors sought were “collaborative care”, “shared care”, “primary care”, “anxiety”, “generalized anxiety disorder”, “panic disorder”, “phobia”, “social phobia”, “post-traumatic stress disorder”, “obsessive compulsive disorder” and “anxiety disorder, Not Otherwise Specified - NOS.” Results: A total of 106 articles were found and after the application of exclusion criteria, seven articles were selected for the present analysis. Conclusion: Despite the different types of collaborative care used, results show greater improvement in anxiety symptoms in patients that received collaborative care compared with those in the control groups, who did not receive such intervention.
