According to a recently published study cognitive behavior therapy was found to be as effective in the treatment for panic disorder when it is done online as it is in a more traditional setting.
"Internet-based CBT is also more cost-effective than group therapy," says Jan Bergstr?m, a clinical psychologist at the Anxiety Disorders Unit of the Psychiatry Northwest division of the Stockholm County Council. "The results therefore support the introduction of Internet treatment into regular psychiatry."
Bergstr?m conducted a randomized trial of 104 patients with panic disorder. All patients underwent internet-based CBT and group CBT. He concluded there was no difference between the two.
