Studying avoidance in adults with anxiety
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with anxiety avoid things that make them anxious. It will use brain scans to understand this better, which may help improve treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to understand how people with both depression and anxiety respond to threat. If you have either or both conditions, participating could help researchers find better treatments.
This study uses brain MRI scans and mental tasks to better understand mood and anxiety problems. It may help researchers develop improved MRI methods for studying depression and healthy brain function.
