Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Anxiety is an emotion considered unpleasant but resulting from a normal phenomenon. It corresponds to an adaptive response to events, to stress and helps to ensure our survival.

On the other hand, it becomes embarrassing when it becomes uncontrollable. It can even lead to interfere with activities of daily living. Thus, we can speak of anxiety disorder.

Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent psychiatric disorders. They are often associated with other comorbidities such as depression, which makes them more difficult to treat and diagnose.

Different treatments are offered to best treat the patient with anxiety : drug treatment (antidepressants, anxiolytics) ; non-drug (psychotherapy, meditation, cognitive behavioral therapies).

The emergence of hypnosis in medical practice in recent years seems to be a technique that can bring benefits to the patient.

A review of clinical studies does not seem to find a benefit to hypnosis in anxiety disorders. In contrast, a study in children with school phobia showed the effectiveness of hypnosis. The limits addressed by this review seem to relate to the number of people included in the studies. Contrariwise, it has been pointed out that hypnosis can have a beneficial effect in the long term.

Thus, it seems interesting to deepen this technique in the practice of a general practitioner exercising the activating consciousness technique in anxiety.

The study will be composed of patients presenting with anxiety and consulting their general practitioner, with: Group 1, patients consulting a doctor not practicing hypnosis Versus Group 2, patients consulting a doctor practicing hypnosis.

During the first consultation and the following 2 consultations scheduled by the general practitioner (spaced 15 days apart), the following data are noted, in addition to the monitoring usually performed by the doctor:

1. COVI scale
2. Comfort scale 0 to 10
3. Management: drugs, TAC, others
4. Quality of life survey SF36 Patients will be called back at 6 months to reassess quality of life (self-administered survey SF 36) The primary endpoint is to evaluated the change of anxiety from inclusion (J0) to 6 months using COVI scale in the two different groups.

For secondary endpoints, the consumption of drug medicine will be quantified and the quality of life will be measured using Quality of life survey SF36.
