Overview

A study of 67 people with panic disorder found that 8 weeks of cognitive-behavioral group treatment led to significant improvement compared to a control group. 85% of the treatment group were panic-free after treatment, compared to 30% of the control group. Treatment also resulted in clinically significant improvements in anxiety, agoraphobia, depression, and fear of fear. At 6-month follow-up, 63% of the treated group met criteria for recovery. This suggests that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a viable alternative to medication for treating panic disorder.
