Group-based talking therapies shown to be most effective treatment for young people with anxiety disorders.

Group cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) could be the best choice of psychotherapy for anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, according to a new network meta-analysis study from Oxford University, Department of Psychiatry.
