An interventional prospective study on 200 bariatric surgery candidates from the Assuta Medical Center (AMC). The first 100 patients will be assigned to the control group and the later 100 patients will be assigned to the experimental group. All the participants will receive standard care, and only those participants who will assigned to the experimental group will be asked to watch a videotaped lecture of 30 minutes 1-2 weeks prior to the surgery date. The videotaped lecture will include information and guidelines of bariatric surgery preparation. All participants will complete Bariatric surgery knowledge questionnaire and The state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) questionnaire at the bariatric committee and once again at the pre-surgery clinic which take place 1-10 days pre-surgery.In addition, 20 participants will be recruited to a pilot study for the validation of the Bariatric surgery knowledge questionnaire.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 6-week, group-based, cognitive behavioural therapy (CGBT) program for women with anxiety disorders (with or without comorbid depressive symptoms) during pregnancy or early postpartum. The CBGT program was evaluated compared to a 6-week waitlist condition.
The effects of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) on autonomic function in patients with anxiety-depression disorders is unknown. Thus, the authors will investigate cardiac autonomic control in a population of patients with anxiety-depression disorders which will undergo a specific SKY treatment.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of two treatment-as-usual (TAU) conditions: TAU with integration of emotion focused components (EFT) and TAU with focus on self-regulation (SR). Especially the long-term efficacy is evaluated with a focus on differential effects. Moreover, the mechanisms of change of both conditions are investigated.
The purpose of the present study is to determine the effectiveness and feasibility of the Progressive Goal Attainment Program (PGAP) with individuals with anxiety and mood disorders. PGAP has been suggested as an effective therapy to reduce psychosocial barriers and help individuals return to life roles including readiness to return to work. PGAP has been shown to be effective with some chronic health conditions however has not been specifically studied in mental health populations. The study consists of 10 one hour weekly therapy sessions that focus on reducing psychosocial risk factors that result in disability through the use of goal setting, activity planning and activation, monitoring and challenging thoughts about return to work, and problem solving. Participants will also be asked to complete short self-report questionnaires as well as a semi-structured interview about the participants anxiety, mood, impact of disability, and current functioning at the beginning of session one and within two weeks after session 10. Two short questionnaires will also be completed at each session measuring the degree to which the participants daily life impacts and is affected by anxiety or mood symptoms.
Neurofunctional Predictors of Escitalopram Treatment Response in Adolescents with Anxiety. To determine the effects of escitalopram on functional activation patterns during a Continuous Performance Task with Emotional and Neutral Distracters, the CPT-END. To examine baseline functional activity and functional connectivity profiles in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex as markers of subsequent treatment response to escitalopram in adolescents with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). To use proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) to examine glutamatergic and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-related abnormalities in the anterior cingulate in adolescents with GAD as compared to healthy adolescents.
This study examines how online self-guided programs can improve mood and anxiety symptoms. These programs use exercises from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, which is an evidence-based treatment for depression and anxiety. The purpose of this study is to learn who will do best with the online format. Our aim is to learn for whom online self-guided interventions are most efficacious. This knowledge is important because it will help inform clinicians and patients about who might benefit from this type of intervention versus who would need the assistance of a therapist. More specifically, we hope to figure out who would benefit from solely an online intervention and who would benefit from an online intervention in addition to other treatment.
Among children, social anxiety is a common, severe and chronic disorder. Social Effectiveness Therapy for Children (SET-C) is an empirically supported treatment with significant potential to impact the lives of children with this severe and chronic disorder. The proposed Pegasys-VR™ system will distinctly enhance its utility, as it will allow dissemination to a broad variety of clinical settings including schools as well as traditional outpatient clinics. Its use for the treatment of social skills deficits will offer a superior solution for mental health personnel, solving many of the resource and logistic barriers that they currently face. The final product will address cost and practical issues by disseminating an empirically-supported treatment that was rigorously built and tested. Using VE will make the traditional social skills therapy programs program cost-effective and patient-centric, allowing even clinicians with little background/training in behavior therapy to have tools not typically available to them.
