Summary

This study aims to see if a carbon dioxide (CO2) breathing challenge can help predict which people with anxiety, OCD, PTSD, or panic disorder will not respond to exposure-based therapy. Researchers will enroll 600 adults aged 18 to 70. If successful, this simple test could help clinicians decide whether to start this type of therapy or consider alternatives.
