CBT for anxiety: how long does the benefit last
Study shows which disorders are likely to respond and for how long
Patients who have done a course of CBT to treat their anxiety still show improvements a year later, a meta-analysis shows.
Furthermore, people with PTSD, generalised anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder appear to continue to benefit after the 12-month mark, but data with such long-term follow-up are scarce, the investigators say.
