For anxiety, a single intervention is not enough

(University of Connecticut) No matter which treatment they get, only 20 percent of young people diagnosed with anxiety will stay well, UConn Health researchers report. The study followed 319 young people aged 10 to 25 who had been diagnosed with separation, social, or general anxiety disorders. They received evidence-based treatment, and then had follow-ups with the researchers every year for four years. This is the first study to reassess youth treated for anxiety every year for four years.
