Cognitive behavioral therapy reduces anxiety symptoms in adults.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
8 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that cognitive behavioral therapy reduces anxiety symptoms in adults?

Unclear. Several small studies and one digital-program study report reduced anxiety symptoms after cognitive behavioral therapy, but each covers only a narrow population or setting, such as aneurysm patients, Parkinson's disease patients, spider phobia, or a rare-syndrome case study. No retrieved item establishes the general claim for adults as a whole.
