Ep. 3 Unified Protocol vs. Diagnosis-Specific CBT for Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are chronic conditions, and while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven effective treatment, understanding its long-term efficacy—especially years after treatment concludes—is crucial. Most studies on CBT for anxiety traditionally focus on acute outcomes, with limited follow-up beyond six months. In this episode, we dive into groundbreaking research from a 2023 study by Bullis and colleagues, published in the Journal of Mood and Anxiety Disorders. This high-quality randomized equivalence trial provides invaluable insights by following treatment completers for three years post-treatment, extending previous findings beyond 12 months.
