One in five people in the U.S. report suffering from anxiety in the past year, and one in three will experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime, but 40% of patients go untreated. Perhaps patients are disinterested (or distrust) in traditional pharmacotherapy ... or perhaps it is due to a lack of availability of services (like cognitive behavioral therapy – CBT). Many patients (and clinicians) are interested in exploring and using alternative treatment approaches, but are they effective?
