Interventions
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with panic control treatment (PCT) for adolescents
CBT with PCT treatment will consist of 11 weekly sessions that are designed to be developmentally appropriate for a younger population. The primary aim of this treatment will be to directly influence three aspects of panic attacks and general anxiety: the cognitive/misinterpretational aspect, the hyperventilatory response, and the conditioned reactions to physical sensations. Throughout treatment, participants will keep daily records of their anxiety and will complete self-monitoring forms to monitor panic attacks.
Waitlist control
During the 12-week waitlist period, participants will keep daily records of their anxiety and will complete self-monitoring forms to monitor panic attacks. Participants will also meet with a therapist every other week to discuss the nature of any panic attacks or address any concerns.
