The Impact of CBT on Shock-Potentiated Neural Circuitry
07 October 2024
We are looking for participants with persistent anxiety to take part in our research study on the effects of psychological therapy on learning and emotional processing. It is hoped that this research will contribute to an improved understanding of anxiety and its treatments. Participants will undergo behavioural and neuroimaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging) testing before and after a period of a few months.
Requirements
- We are looking for people who have been experiencing persistent anxiety and/or low mood.
- All participants must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- Participants will need to be safe to go into the MRI scanner, meaning they must have no metal in their body that cannot be removed (piercings, implants, medical devices, etc).
- We unfortunately cannot accept participants who have taken antidepressant medication in the past six months.
- We also cannot accept participants who are currently receiving CBT treatment, or have received such treatment within the past 3 months.
- However, we are able to recruit participants who are on the waiting list for CBT treatment through the NHS, but please let us know.
- It is also preferable for participants to live in London.
