Cognitive-behavior therapy has been found to be highly effective in the treatment of panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is a type of talk therapy that helps patients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their symptoms. Medication can also be helpful in managing symptoms, but cognitive-behavior therapy has been shown to have longer-lasting effects and a lower risk of side effects.
