Associations between exercise and mental well-being have been documented repeatedly over the last two decades. More recently, there has application of interventions to clinical populations diagnosed with depression, anxiety, eating disorders evidence substantial benefit. Nonetheless, attention efficacy in settings notably absent psychosocial treatment literature, as calls for integration these methods within practice psychologists. In this article, we provide a quantitative qualitative...
Context: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is common and debilitating.Although exposure therapy one of the most effective forms psychotherapy for this disorder, many patients remain symptomatic.Fear reduction in similar to extinction learning, early clinical data with specific phobias suggest that treatment effects SAD may be enhanced D-cycloserine, an agonist at glutamatergic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor.Objective: To determine whether short-term 50 mg D-cycloserine enhances efficacy...
Background: Exercise interventions repeatedly have been shown to be efficacious for the treatment of depression, and initial studies indicate similar efficacy anxiety conditions. To further study potential beneficial role prescriptive exercise anxiety-related conditions, we examined in reducing fears sensations (anxiety sensitivity). Methods: We randomly assigned 60 participants with elevated levels sensitivity a 2-week intervention, plus cognitive restructuring or waitlist control...
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is associated with synaptic plasticity, which crucial for long-term learning and memory. Some studies suggest that people suffering from anxiety disorders show reduced BDNF relative to healthy controls. Lower impaired learning, cognitive deficits, poor exposure-based treatment outcomes. A series of rats showed exercise elevates enhances fear extinction. However, this strategy has not been tested in humans. In pilot study, we randomized participants (N...
Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for panic disorder. However, studies investigating mechanisms responsible improvement with CBT are lacking. The authors used regression analyses outlined by R. M. Baron and D. A. Kenny (1986) to test whether a reduction in fear (FOF) underlies resulting from CBT. Pre- posttreatment measures were collected 90 CBT-treated patients 40 wait-list control participants. Overall, accounted 31% variance...

Combined depression may have beneficial effects when applied to patients with chronic in cases prevent relapse. In bipolar disorder there is evidence strong effect psychosocial on course disorder. disorders, are some benefits short term, but limit maintenance gains offered by CBT alone. should not be considered default possible...
The primary aim of the current study was to further investigate deleterious effects safety-seeking behaviors on fear reduction by disentangling perceived availability threat-relevant safety during treatment versus their actual use. Participants (N=72) displaying marked claustrophobic were randomly assigned 1 5 conditions: (a) exposure only (EO), (b) with phobic safety-behavior (SBA), (c) utilization (SBU), (d) credible placebo (PL), or (e) wait list (WL). High end-state functioning rates at...
d-Cycloserine does not enhance the effectiveness of CBT for social anxiety disorder but could temporarily accelerate speed treatment response, reducing patient distress and limiting avoidance tendencies patients with disorders during exposure treatments.
