Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether escitalopram is safe, well tolerated, and effective in the treatment of HIV-infected patients with generalized anxiety disorder.
By testing physiological responses to anxiety in people with nervous system developmental disorders, this study will identify specific physiological characteristics associated with response to anxiety treatments.
This study will compare the effects that two types of behavioral therapy have on brain function in people with social anxiety disorder.
This study will attempt to identify gene and brain activity markers that predict whether people with social anxiety disorder will respond to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor medications.
The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that quetiapine XR (Extended Release) monotherapy or adjunctive therapy to antidepressant is superior to placebo monotherapy or placebo adjunctive therapy to antidepressant(s) in the acute treatment of depression symptoms in patients with MDD and comorbid GAD. The secondary objectives are to test the hypotheses that quetiapine XR is superior to placebo in the reduction of anxiety symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder and comorbid generalized anxiety disorder, the improvement of the quality of sleep in patients with major depressive disorder and comorbid generalized anxiety disorder and the improvement of the quality of life in patients with major depressive disorder and comorbid generalized anxiety disorder.
The aim of this study was to develop and pilot a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) parent-child intervention for 4-7-year-old children at risk for anxiety disorders. The 20-session intervention was first piloted openly in 9 children (between 3/10/98 and 1/1/2001). The intervention was then tested in 65 children in a randomized controlled trial versus a monitoring-only wait-list control condition. Children had to either have an anxiety disorder, behavioral inhibition, or be the offspring of a parent with an anxiety disorder who had elevated symptoms of anxiety. In practice all children but one had at least one anxiety disorder at baseline. Children were blocked on presence or absence of parental anxiety disorder and randomized to the intervention or to a no-intervention wait-list control group. The intervention consisted of 6 parent-only sessions, 8-13 child-parent sessions, and a final parent session. Post-trial assessments were conducted at six months, and at one-year follow-up. The hypotheses were that the children assigned to the intervention group would show significantly better improvement (measured via Clinician Global Impression-Anxiety Improvement scale and absence of anxiety disorders) than children assigned to the wait-list condition.
The purpose of this study is to treat individuals with social anxiety disorder with a Food and Drug Administration-approved medication for the treatment of social anxiety disorder, the antidepressant paroxetine, and to evaluate the impact of an intervention designed to help those individuals cope with anxiety without the use of common coping behaviors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a forgiveness-based writing intervention in an open trial with 20 Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) veterans who have recently experienced combat-related trauma to: 1. Determine the feasibility of delivering the intervention. 2. Evaluate the acceptability of the intervention. 3. Collect preliminary outcome data on PTSD symptoms, depression, anxiety, anger, and forgiveness.
The purpose of this study is to quantify levels of resident anxiety under the current system (take call alone) and compare results to a modified system.
Approximately 20% of pregnant women experience depression. Untreated depression during pregnancy is linked to decreased prenatal care, difficulties in the pregnancy, poorer outcomes for the baby, and developmental, language, and behaviour problems in the older child. While medication can often offer relief, pregnant women suffering with depression are often reluctant to take medications that may affect the unborn baby. There is little research about the effectiveness of other treatments such as support groups. The investigators project will provide relaxation groups for pregnant women with anxiety and depression. The group will provide a chance to get support from other pregnant women. Two health care specialists will provide information about anxiety and depression. They will also teach the skills for women to manage their symptoms. Women will be asked to complete a few questionnaires to evaluate their symptoms before, during, and after they join the group. They will also be asked to evaluate how the group met their needs.
