Summary
The literature on late-life anxiety has grown exponentially in the last two decades, and a wide array of research questions are being explored by an ever-growing cadre of clinicians and scientists internationally. In fact, in the last decade, there have been several special journal issues devoted to aspects of anxiety in later life – for example, American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry (2011, vol. 19, issue 4), Journal of Anxiety Disorders (2013, vol. 27, issue 6), International Psychogeriatrics (2015, vol. 27, issue 7), and Clinical Gerontologist (2017, vol. 40, issue 3). All have made the point that while our understanding of the etiology, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of such disorders has grown and continues to increase, there are still many areas requiring further research attention. In addition, experimental techniques to study the biological mechanisms underpinning anxiety continue to grow in sophistication and access.
