Summary

This study tested a mobile app that delivers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on its own for adults whose panic disorder hasn't improved with standard treatments. 45 participants used the app for eight weeks, covering skills like relaxation and changing unhelpful thoughts. The goal was to see if the app could reduce anxiety and improve quality of life.
