Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: A Long-Term Solution for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common and debilitating condition characterized by excessive worry and tension. This research explores the long-term effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in managing GAD.

The researchers conducted a follow-up study of two clinical trials and found that CBT had a positive impact on GAD symptoms, with treatment gains maintained over an 8-14 year follow-up period. This suggests that CBT can provide long-term benefits for individuals with GAD.
