The Differential Diagnosis Process for Anxiety Disorders (December 2023)
Identifying an accurate diagnosis can be a challenge for many mental health clinicians. Anxiety disorders are a grouping of diagnoses that can be especially difficult given their complexity of symptom presentation (DeMartini, et al., 2019; Koyuncu, et al., 2019; Ströhle, et al., 2018) as well as their connections to somatic complaints and other physical health conditions (Bekhuis, et al., 2015). The differential diagnosis process can become especially complicated in reference to specific circumstances, such as perinatal manifestations (Byrnes, 2018) and presentations in children and adolescents (Garcia-Lopez, et al., 2016). This training aims to support mental health clinicians in the differential diagnosis process specific to anxiety disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. Topics will include the diagnosis of specific anxiety disorders, comorbid disorders, and assessment strategies that can aid in the differential diagnosis process.

The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) has a process for approving individual programs or providers for continuing education through their Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. ACE approved providers and individual courses approved by ASWB are not accepted by every state and regulatory board for continuing education credits for social workers. Every US state other than New York accepts ACE approval for social workers in some capacity: New Jersey only accepts individually approved courses for social workers, rather than courses from approved providers. The West Virginia board requires board approval for live courses, but accepts ASWB ACE approval for other courses for social workers. For more information, please see https://www.aswb.org/ace/ace-jurisdiction-map/. Whether or not boards accept ASWB ACE approved continuing education for other professionals such as licensed professional counselors or licensed marriage and family therapists varies by jurisdiction. To determine if a course can be accepted by your licensing board, please review your board’s regulations or contact them. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit.
