Abstract:
Patients with Parkinson's disease frequently suffer from complicated anxiety disorders that are entwined with their attitudes and behaviors. In regard to this population, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been attracting an increasing amount of attention as a potentially effective treatment for mental health issues like anxiety. CBT helps patients manage stress and improve their psychological well being through behavioral, relaxation, and cognitive techniques. Even though there is already evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can dramatically reduce psychological symptoms in Parkinson's patients, more thorough research is required to determine its exact role in comprehensive anxiety treatment and prove its long-term efficacy. The purpose of this study is to examine the body of research on the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat anxiety in patients with Parkinson's disease, looking at its limitations and challenges as well as clinical characteristics, advantages, and possible behavioral and psychological impacts.
