Summary

This study tested whether a self-guided app could work as well as traditional therapy for panic disorder. 46 adults were split into two groups: one received standard cognitive behavioral therapy, and the other used an app with the same 8-session plan. Both groups were assessed for anxiety and depression at the start and end of treatment.

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 (traditional and self-guided via app)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a self-guided app is as effective as traditional therapy, making treatment more accessible for panic disorder.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 46 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the app version may be less effective than in-person therapy.
