A newly released mental health app has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in treating anxiety disorders, according to a peer-reviewed study published in JAMA Psychiatry. The app, which combines cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with guided mindfulness exercises, reduced anxiety symptoms by an average of 60% among 2,000 participants over 12 weeks. What makes this particularly significant is that the improvements matched those typically seen with traditional in-person therapy, but at a fraction of the cost. The app is now available free for the first month.
