Description
Summary:From 17 to 20 February 2021, the XVII interdisciplinary conference with international participation «Wein's Readings» was held online in Moscow. On February 18, as part of this event, with the support of Materia Medica, a symposium entitled «Therapy as an art: how to cope with patient anxiety» was held with a simultaneous master class on art therapy. The information and physical environment around us causes a significant increase in the incidence of adjustment disorders and a massive increase in the level of anxiety among the population, which became especially noticeable during the COVID-19 pandemic. Anxiety disorders are currently found in 8 out of 10 patients seeking medical attention. Scientific research shows that art and culture is a powerful therapeutic agent that can reduce anxiety and other clinical manifestations of disease. Art therapy is starting to become part of the treatment standard. At the master class, a methodology was presented that includes the latest achievements of nanopharmacology and art therapy for managing anxiety – the most common syndrome in the clinical practice of a doctor of any specialty today.
