Cognitive Behavioral Therapy App Improves Anxiety in Young Adults

Summary

Nutrition label

92% Informative

A self-guided cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT ) app, called Maya , significantly reduced anxiety in young adults struggling with mental health challenges.

The decrease in anxiety symptoms was clinically and statistically significant at six weeks and continued at the 12-week follow-up period with improvement levels similar to anxiety medication studies.

The app provides skill-building tools and real-time feedback that can help reduce stress and negative thoughts.

Weill Cornell Medicine physicians and scientists maintain relationships and collaborate with external organizations to foster scientific innovation and provide expert guidance.

This study was funded by The Center for Youth Mental Health at NewYork-Presbyterian , the Khoury Foundation , the Paul and Jenna Segal Foundation , and the Saks Fifth Avenue Foundation .
