Anxiety disorder treatment response and recovery study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at what factors help people with anxiety disorders respond to treatment and recover. It uses virtual reality and other assessments to understand your anxiety better, which may help guide better treatments in the future. As a participant, you will receive thorough evaluations and may be part of either the anxiety group or a healthy comparison group.
