ABSTRACT
Especially in primary care, the differentiation of general anxiety from depression is often so arbitrary that ICD-10 introduced the diagnosis `mixed anxiety/depression'. Re¯ecting this, CP systems for general anxiety sometimes also re¯ect depression and vice versa. Systems mainly for depression are reviewed in Chapter 5. Further overlaps appear between general anxiety,
`stress', `emotional or psychological problems', and `adjustment disorder'. Such terminological fuzziness should be borne in mind in the overlap below of CP systems for general anxiety, stress and other emotional or psychological dif®culties. Yet more fuzziness comes from some studies being in volunteers without obvious problems or with dif®culties not amounting to formal syndromes.
