Group vs. Individual Therapy for Excessive Worry
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether therapy for generalized anxiety disorder (constant, hard-to-control worry) works better when done in a group or one-on-one. The therapy teaches you how to think differently about your worries to reduce anxiety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
