Moving on! Can a Tailored Treatment in a Primary Care Setting Reduce Symptoms, Healthcare Consumption, Sick Leave and Prevent Pain and Hypertension in Individuals With Anxiety Disorders?
The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the effects of two different interventions in patients with anxiety disorder and who seeks help at primary care centers. The participants will choose between two interventions:
1. A 12-week physical exercise program with three training sessions per week, or 2. A modified version of eHealth Lift, a digital development of the Health Lift, an evidence based lifestyle-intervention for health promotion and prevention in primary health care.
The participant will fill in self-assessment scales and questionnaires and also have BMI and blood pressure measured at the start of the study, at 12-weeks after the study start and after 1 year.
The main question the investigators aim to answer is if the interventions are better than treatment as usual for this group of patients regarding:
* symptoms of anxiety and depression * pain * sleep * alcohol habits * fatigue * general health * work ability/sick leave * physical activity * perceived quality of life * BMI and blood pressure * number of health care contacts * psychopharmaceuticals and analgesics prescribed * health literacy
Inclusion: Clinical diagnosis of anxiety disorder (panic syndrome, 41.0; generalized anxiety, F41.1; mixed anxiety- and depression, F41.2 and F41.3; anxiety not otherwise specified, F41.9); Seeking care at primary care centers within the Region Västra Götaland; With or without ongoing treatment with psychoactive medication (antidepressants or anxiolytics).
Exclusion: Ongoing exhaustion disorder or psychotic disorder; Pregnancy; Physical difficulties in performing a physical exercise program; Pathological electrocardiogram; Low BMI (under 17.5); Ongoing alcohol/substance abuse; Newly discovered (within 6 months) atrial fibrillation; High suicide risk as assessed by the general practitioner; Limited knowledge in the Swedish language.
