Summary

This pilot study tested whether adding cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to usual care helps reduce irritability and suicidal thoughts in children aged 8 to 12 with anger and aggression issues. 46 children were assigned to either CBT plus usual care or usual care alone. The therapy focused on emotion regulation, problem-solving, and social skills. Researchers measured changes in irritability and suicidal ideation over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anger and Aggression (CBT-AA)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug therapy to help children manage anger and reduce suicidal thoughts.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 46 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is added to usual care, so it's unclear how much benefit comes from CBT alone.
