Summary

This study looks at why some people get better with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for social anxiety or body dysmorphic disorder, while others do not. Researchers will use brain scans, thinking tests, and surveys to find early signs that someone might not respond well. The goal is to improve therapy by understanding these differences. About 160 adults aged 18-45 will take part.
