Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

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.

BEHAVIORAL

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.
