About Anxiety Atlas

What this is

Anxiety Atlas collects practical orientation: warning signs, types of anxiety disorders, appointments, a self-check, treatments, family support, a glossary, and helplines. The aim is to reduce the scramble of open tabs into a few pages you can actually use.

It is built for people who have noticed changes in themselves or someone close to them, people living with a diagnosis, and the people supporting them. Clinicians may find the source links useful too, but the tone is for families first.

What you will find

• Warning signs - constant worry, panic attacks, social fear, how anxiety can look by age, and warning signs of suicide
• Types of anxiety disorders - generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, phobias, agoraphobia, separation anxiety, selective mutism, and more
• Appointments - what to bring, what to ask, and a step-by-step roadmap
• Anxiety self-check and anxiety and medicine log - a private symptom checklist and a printable weekly log
• Family guide - checkable, situation-aware actions you can save or print
• Treatments - approved medicines, benzodiazepine safety, therapy, cleared digital treatments, late-stage drugs in trials, and recruiting studies
• Glossary - clear explanations of diagnosis, medicine, and therapy terms
• Resources - crisis lines, treatment finders, and support

How we source it

Pages lean on public, citable material: the National Institute of Mental Health, MedlinePlus, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drug labels on DailyMed and FDA device records, guidelines from the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), ClinicalTrials.gov, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Where we summarize, we keep the original source one click away.

Medicine labels, helpline details, and approvals change. Confirm anything important at the linked source or with a health care provider before acting on it.

Who builds it

Anxiety Atlas is built by the Foundation for the Eradication of Dementia and Mental Illness. The project sits alongside related work on expanding access to pragmatic clinical research and publishing comparable outcomes so patients can reach promising care while evidence accumulates for everyone else.
