Did you know of this meta-analytic website by @pimcuijpers et al. featuring hundreds of RCTs?
In the video I'll show researchers (part I) and clients (part II) how to run a systematic meta-analysis looking into the effect of CBT on depression in older adults within 1 minute.

Excellent question from @LaurenSHallion about the overlap between worry and obsessions! Love the discussion on this one.

[Ryan J Jacoby, Ph.D. @DrRyanJacoby]

@LaurenSHallion similar in that the initial worry pops in, but also there's the cognitive worry process of mulling over that fear again and again. Thus, I’ve been grappling with what treatment strategies (e.g., mindfulness) help across all facets of RNT, and what about OCD might be unique. 3/3

[Ryan J Jacoby, Ph.D. @DrRyanJacoby]

@LaurenSHallion Similar to @OCDMaryland and @arjavanbakht, I think in OCD we make the helpful distinction between the obsessive thought that pops into mind and then the mental rituals (e.g., neutralizing, self-reassuring, mental reviewing) one does to reduce the anxiety. But I see worry as 2/3

[Ryan J Jacoby, Ph.D. @DrRyanJacoby]

@LaurenSHallion Sometimes I see this as being very clear distinction (i.e., obsessions being more ego-dystonic and tied to a specific fear vs. being syntonic and diffuse) but I also see a lot of similarity in terms of the repetitive thought process being intrusive, unwanted, interfering etc. 1/3
