Subtle diagnostic differences can shape everything – from the treatment path you choose to the outcomes your clients experience.
And when it comes to anxiety, those differences can be especially easy to miss. Symptoms overlap. Presentations blur together.
That’s why we put together this focused 3 hour training.
You’ll watch Dr. Caleb Lack – clinical psychologist, professor, and author – as he walks you step by step through the DSM-5-TR™ criteria for the full spectrum of anxiety conditions.
With a clear, engaging teaching style and decades of experience in evidence-based treatment for anxiety related disorders …
… Dr. Lack will cut through the dense manual pages of the DSM and show you how to:
- Differentiate GAD, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, and Specific Phobias using hallmark symptoms, exclusion criteria, and key clinical “red flags.”
- Spot common diagnostic mistakes that lead to mislabeling and delayed care.
- Recognize overlapping features among anxiety, trauma-related, and somatic symptom presentations.
- Evaluate complex or ambiguous cases.
