seguimiento activo en el paso 1, ofrezca una o más de las intervenciones psicológicas de baja intensidad de la tabla de abajo, guiado por la preferencia de la persona:

Testimonio de los usuarios:
A la mayoría de las personas con TAG que participaron en los grupos focales se les prescribió tratamiento farmacológico como primera opción, muchos de ellos también fueron derivados a tratamiento psicológico grupal en diferentes momentos de la atención sanitaria, y ninguno mencionó que se les proporcionara material de autoayuda.
La opinión sobre la utilidad de los grupos de terapia fue unánimemente positiva, sirviendo incluso para generar redes de apoyo social.
“Nos ayudaba de ese tipo de reuniones que tú crees que te pasa lo mayor, y cuando tú escuchas al que está a tu lado, dices “¿y de qué me quejo yo?”. No es tanto el problema tuyo, es mucho más el
