GSK: Patient Brochures

I wrote a series of patient information brochures on various disease states for GlaxoSmithKline. Brochures were written to provide comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand information on a variety of medical conditions. Topics included Anxiety Disorders, Osteoarthritis, and Restless Leg Syndrome.

Learn About Anxiety Disorders
Stress can make anyone anxious. It’s normal when scary or new situations worry you. Usually, when the stress goes away, the anxiety does, too. But, if you have an anxiety disorder, you’re often worried. Your anxiety affects your sleep. It disrupts your daily activities. It can affect your work, your family, and your social life.

Anxiety disorders are treatable medical illnesses
Anxiety disorders are serious. They can get in the way of your daily life. But, for most people, anxiety disorders are treatable. Most people can be helped with medicine, counseling, or both. Anxiety disorders are medical illnesses. They’re more common than you might think. Millions of American adults have some form of anxiety disorder each year. People respond to treatment in different ways. Some have more than one type of anxiety disorder. So, treatment must fit your needs. Talk with your doctor to find what works best for you.
