New and emerging treatments for anxiety disorders

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to identify and evaluate new and emerging treatments for anxiety disorders, addressing the limitations of standard therapies due to non-response and relapse rates. The review highlights various novel stand-alone treatments, such as innovative psychotherapies, neuromodulation techniques, and pharmacological agents, as well as augmentation strategies designed to enhance exposure therapy. While many of these treatments show promise, further testing is needed for some before clinical implementation.
