Cognitive Therapy Improves Symptoms of Anxiety Disorder Common in Older Adults, Study Shows

I have taken some of these CBT skills form my mental health worker. They work great. The participants had an average age of 67. They were evaluated at the start of the study, after the three months of therapy, and several times during the next year. The participants with the cognitive behavioral therapy improved significantly at three months, compared with the other group, on several measures, including worry severity, depressive symptoms, and general mental health. However, in another key measure, severity of anxiety, there was no difference between the two groups.
