Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!


Affecting 10% of GP patients1, this high-yield topic requires an NHMRC Level 1 evidence-based approach. This episode breaks down Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the recommended first-line therapy. Learn to explain symptoms like racing hearts and "jelly legs" via the "fight or flight" adrenaline response. We dive into interoceptive exposure (inducing symptoms via hyperventilation to teach mastery) and in vivo exposure. With a powerful NNT of 3, learn how to guide patients toward clinician-supported online tools like MindSpot to demonstrate safe, structured care.
