from Women and Mental Health · host Andrew MacQuoid

A study by NIH researchers revealed that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alters brain activity in children with anxiety. Before treatment, overactivity in areas like the frontal lobe and amygdala was observed. After 12 weeks of CBT, significant improvements in anxiety symptoms were recorded, along with reduced brain activity in these regions, indicating the effectiveness of CBT in managing anxiety disorders.
