Generalized anxiety disorder - is a common disease, which is quite difficult diagnosed and treated. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is indicated to patients with GAD as a first-line method. This article provides an overview of the principles, advantages and evidence of the effectiveness of this type of therapy.
