TCC per l’ansietat infantil
Un estudi realitzat amb 488 infants de 7 a 17 anys demostra que la TCC és eficaç pels trastorns d’ansietat infantils. Ho és més que el placebo, igual que els fàrmacs i menys que la combinació fàrmacs-TCC.
Before our study, cognitive behavioral therapy for childhood anxiety was considered to be “probably efficacious”.This evaluation of cognitive behavioral therapy and other recent studies suggests that such therapy for childhood anxiety is a well-established, evidenced-based treatment. Given that the risk of some adverse events was lower in the behavioral-therapy group than in the sertraline group, some parents and their children may consider choosing cognitive behavioral therapy as their initial treatment.
