Self-Evaluation in Childhood Social Anxiety Disorder: Effects of Repeated Exposure with Support Strategies

This study examined how children with social anxiety disorder (SAD) perceive their social performance compared to objective observer ratings, finding that children with SAD consistently rate themselves more negatively than peers despite similar actual performance. Repeated exposure to social-evaluative tasks with brief parental support or self-instruction improved children's self-ratings over time, though negative self-appraisal remained a core feature of childhood SAD.

Eye movements reveal attentional bias toward social threat in children with social anxiety disorder

This study compared attentional patterns in 42 children with social anxiety disorder (SAD) and 46 healthy controls during anticipation of a social stress task. While reaction time measures showed no group differences, eye-tracking revealed that children with SAD fixated more frequently and longer on audience faces, suggesting heightened hypervigilance to social cues that standard behavioral measures may not capture.

Metacognitive Therapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Effects on Distress Tolerance and Medication Adherence

A pilot randomized controlled trial examined whether metacognitive therapy (MCT), which targets anxiety-sustaining thought patterns, improves emotional distress tolerance and medication adherence in adults with generalized anxiety disorder. Patients receiving eight weekly MCT sessions showed significantly greater improvements in distress tolerance compared to a waitlist control group.

Validity and Measurement Invariance of the GAD-7 Scale in Ukrainian Adults During Wartime

This study validates the GAD-7 anxiety scale in a Ukrainian sample of 1,101 adults during wartime, using confirmatory factor analysis and network analysis to examine how anxiety presents across age, gender, displacement status, and socioeconomic groups. Results show the scale maintains validity across most subgroups, though younger and older adults exhibit different central anxiety symptoms, with implications for tailored clinical interventions.

Fecal Microbiota from Social Anxiety Disorder Patients Induces Anxiety-Like Behavior in Mice

This experimental study transplanted fecal microbiota from patients with social anxiety disorder into antibiotic-treated mice and observed increased anxiety-like behaviors alongside altered gut microbial composition (enriched Bacteroidota, reduced butyrate producers) and metabolic changes. The findings provide mechanistic evidence for a gut-microbiota link in anxiety disorders, though results in animal models require validation in human studies before clinical application.

Anxiety-related behaviors in older adults: age-based comparison and associations with generalized anxiety disorder

This study compared observable anxiety-related behaviors in older adults (mean age 67) versus younger adults (mean age 33), finding that older adults showed more overplanning and checking behaviors but less reassurance-seeking. Anxiety-related behaviors demonstrated similar associations with GAD symptoms across both age groups, suggesting behavioral assessment approaches are applicable to diagnosing anxiety disorders in older populations.

Spectral EEG-guided adaptive neuromodulation for social anxiety disorder: a case report of personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

This case report describes outcomes in a patient with performance-only subtype social anxiety disorder treated with personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (PrTMS) guided by spectral EEG analysis. Clinical improvements in social anxiety, avoidance, and mood were accompanied by changes in EEG spectral features (increased alpha, decreased delta power), suggesting PrTMS warrants further investigation as an adjunctive treatment, though large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed for validation.

Imagery Rescripting for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A Clinical Pilot Case Series

This pilot study examined the feasibility and effectiveness of imagery rescripting, a psychotherapy technique, in 18 individuals with generalized anxiety disorder using 10 weekly sessions. Treatment produced large symptom reductions on standardized measures (worry, anxiety, depression) that were maintained at 3-month follow-up, with over half the sample showing clinically significant improvement and high satisfaction reported.

Psychological resilience moderates the relationship between adverse academic events and anxiety disorder in clinical medicine postgraduates

This cross-sectional study of 1,182 Chinese clinical medicine postgraduates found that exposure to adverse academic events was strongly associated with probable anxiety disorder, while low psychological resilience independently increased anxiety risk. Psychological resilience significantly moderated the association between academic stressors and anxiety, suggesting that strengthening resilience may buffer against anxiety in high-pressure training environments.

Anxiety-Related Behaviors in Older Adults: Age Comparisons and Associations with Generalized Anxiety Disorder

This study examined anxiety-related behavioral manifestations in 321 older adults versus 273 younger adults, finding that older adults more frequently engage in overplanning and checking behaviors but less often seek reassurance than younger counterparts. Despite behavioral differences, anxiety-related behaviors showed comparable associations with GAD symptoms across both age groups, suggesting existing anxiety literature applies to older adults and offering clearer diagnostic profiles for late-life GAD.

Psychiatric Comorbidity and Seizure Characteristics in Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures: A Clinical Correlational Study

This study investigates whether seizure characteristics in psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES)—events resembling epilepsy without abnormal EEG activity—can predict concurrent psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. Researchers compared PNES patients with and without comorbid psychiatric conditions, finding that semiological features alone do not reliably predict the presence of psychiatric comorbidity.

Risk Factors for New-Onset Anxiety and Depression After Arthroscopic Shoulder Stabilization Surgery

This retrospective database study of 38,388 shoulder surgery patients identified that 5.1% developed new-onset anxiety or depression within one year postoperatively, with increased age, higher comorbidity burden, and female sex emerging as significant risk factors. Psychiatric interventions were examined as potential protective factors against adverse postoperative outcomes.

Altered Bilateral Motor Cortex Excitability and Peripheral Glutamate/GABA Imbalance in Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A TMS Investigation

This case-control study compared 30 unmedicated GAD patients with matched controls using transcranial magnetic stimulation to measure motor cortex excitability and assessed serum glutamate/GABA levels. Results showed significant asymmetry in motor cortex excitability in GAD patients, including increased left resting motor threshold, decreased left motor evoked potential amplitude, and increased right motor evoked potential amplitude, suggesting neurophysiological dysregulation in anxiety disorder.

Neuropsychology of Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Clinical Setting: A Systematic Evaluation

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.

Self-Compassion and Anxiety in Adolescents with and without Anxiety Disorder

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.
