Summary
The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the effects of two different interventions in patients with anxiety disorder and who seeks help at primary care centers. The participants will choose between two interventions: 1. A 12-week physical exercise program with three training sessions per week, or 2. A modified version of eHealth Lift, a digital development of the Health Lift, an evidence based lifestyle-intervention for health promotion and prevention in primary health care. The participant will fill in self-assessment scales and questionnaires and also have BMI and blood pressure measured at the start of the study, at 12-weeks after the study start and after 1 year. The main question the investigators aim to answer is if the interventions are better than treatment as usual for this group of patients regarding: * symptoms of anxiety and depression * pain * sleep * alcohol habits * fatigue * general health * work ability/sick leave * physical activity * perceived quality of life * BMI and blood pressure * number of health care contacts * psychopharmaceuticals and analgesics prescribed * health literacy
