Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental health condition, and the leading cause of total burden amongst females aged 5-64. This webinar summarises the factors that increase the risk for anxiety amongst women and discusses how biological factors like the menstrual cycle and hormonal contraception impact anxiety severity and treatment responsiveness. We describe how to modify the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders to improve outcomes for women by attending to these female-specific factors.
