This systematic review examines cognitive deficits in GAD patients, including attention, executive function, and working memory impairments, alongside neural correlates such as amygdala and insula hyperactivity. The paper synthesizes findings on evidence-based treatments including CBT and mindfulness while identifying gaps requiring further investigation into GAD's underlying mechanisms.
This cross-sectional study examined self-compassion levels in adolescents with and without anxiety disorders, finding that clinical groups showed significantly lower overall self-compassion and higher uncompassionate self-responding. Results suggest that reducing self-directed criticism may help buffer against anxiety symptoms, though the specific protective mechanisms of compassionate versus uncompassionate self-responding warrant further investigation.
This is a study protocol for a rigorous randomized controlled trial examining whether lavender aromatherapy can reduce benzodiazepine use in patients with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder.

This systematic review synthesizes evidence-based pharmacotherapy for pediatric GAD, finding that combination psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy yields better outcomes than monotherapy. SSRIs are recommended as first-line treatment with faster symptom reduction, while SNRIs serve as a second-line option, both showing moderate effect sizes in clinical trials.
