Computer-based approach to treating anxiety may reduce suicide risk
December 4, 2014 by NewsBot
A group of psychology researchers has developed a simple computer-based approach to treating anxiety sensitivity, something that could have major implications for veterans and other groups who are considered at risk for suicide. "We have been using computer-delivered interventions for many years now in an effort to more efficiently deliver effective treatments," said a psychology professor. "This study gives us evidence that a brief intervention may help to prevent suicide risk."
