The general objective of our study was to describe the clinical and epidemiological aspects of anxiety disorders. This was a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study, lasting 5 years, from January 01, 2019 to December 31, 2023, on 225 patients seen in consultation for anxiety disorders in the department. The prevalence of anxiety disorders was 2.5% in consultation. The 20 - 29 age group was the most represented at 33.3%. Females were slightly represented at 55.1%, with a sex ratio of 1.2. The secondary level was the most affected, accounting for 36.4% of cases. Insomnia was the most frequent reason for consultation, accounting for 71.1% of cases. A larger general population study would be necessary to better assess the extent of anxiety disorders in Guinea.
