This study investigates the association between substance use patterns and the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among university students at the University of Douala. The research employs an epidemiological approach to understand how these two conditions co-occur in this student population.
This research examines neurosteroids—endogenous steroid compounds that modulate neural function—as a potential therapeutic approach for social anxiety disorder. The work represents legitimate scientific inquiry into novel pharmacological mechanisms, though clinical effectiveness requires robust evidence from controlled trials.
A 10-week randomized controlled trial evaluated Anzeilax, an acceptance and commitment therapy-based digital app incorporating self-talk to enhance psychological flexibility, versus treatment as usual in 96 participants with generalized anxiety disorder. Primary and secondary outcomes measured anxiety symptoms, worry, and depression using validated clinical scales (GAD-7, BAI, PSWQ, HADS).
This review examines how emotionally and socially threatening stimuli impair working memory processes in people with social anxiety disorder, showing that while general working memory capacity may be intact, deficits emerge specifically when tasks involve threat-related content or require executive control under stress. The authors propose affective working memory as a core mechanism linking cognitive, emotional, and social dysfunction in SAD and recommend targeted assessments and interventions focusing on emotion regulation.
This study used Ecological Momentary Assessment to examine mood patterns in 236 adults with social anxiety disorder (SAD), other anxiety disorders, and controls across two weeks of daily life. People with SAD showed elevated baseline anxiety and sadness, greater mood improvements after positive events, and heightened anxiety responses to negative non-social events, suggesting emotional reactivity extends beyond social situations.
