CUIDADO FARMACÊUTICO NO TRATAMENTO DA ANSIEDADE

Abstract

This work aims to carry out bibliographical research on the topic, aiming to expand knowledge to support people with ANXIETY syndrome, developed at the DOCTUM University Center in Teófilo Otoni – MG. Anxiety is a pathology that, through its disorders, leads many people to contract other diseases, causing a major impact on their quality of life. The purpose of this scientific article is to provide support through Pharmaceutical Care, aiming to previously identify disorders and alleviate their consequences in people's lives. According to a review of current evidence, it shows that anxiety was a disease on the rise during the pandemic, caused by several factors related to problems that emerged or worsened during this period. This is a literature review, using the following descriptors: Pharmaceutical care, Pharmaceutical care, Anxiety disorders. To achieve the previously defined objectives, a literature review was adopted in order to identify published studies on the topic. Given the findings extracted from the selected studies, it was clear that the majority of people had or currently have anxiety problems, many cases with sequelae that resulted in constant medical monitoring. People subjected to social isolation have a great loss in their psychosocial training, due to deprivation and social containment, resulting in symptoms of psychological distress, mainly related to stress, depression and anxiety. This study allowed us to reflect on the need to ensure clear and informative communication about strategies to reduce these symptoms, with the main focus being support for these individuals through pharmaceutical assistance. It was possible to infer that the role of the pharmacist has great relevance in patient monitoring.
