Anxiety increase with work/ losing weight/ social determinants of health

My focus as a family nurse practitioner will be on reducing the proportion of adults with Generalized Anxiety Disorder in the Plainfield community in Illinois from symptoms of moderate anxiety to mild anxiety.

300-word response minimum.  Include 4 references APA 7th edition, current evidenced-based peer-reviewed journals, or website. 

The paper's requirements include a specific population focus, detailing social determinants of health, and cultural and ethnic diversity. The paper should detail primary and secondary prevention, disease process (pathophysiology), epidemiology (specific to the US population), diagnostic measures (including pertinent lab tests), diagnosis (including three pertinent differential diagnoses with rational), FNP evaluation and management (including pharmacology), interprofessional collaboration or referral to another specialist, patient education, and the specific role of the nurse practitioner in the management of this patient utilizing the Shuler framework as a foundation. 

As this is a mental health disorder – you would have to include DSM5 diagnostic criteria, clinical practice guidelines, screenings, follow up, potential referrals and colllaborative treatments, pharmacology and nonpharmacological treatments andf patient resources.
