New App Might Help Young Adults Handle Anxiety

Source: United Press International - Health NewsIt's not a replacement for actual psychotherapy, but a newly designed app could help young adults with mental health issues lower their anxiety, researchers reported Tuesday in the journal JAMA Network Open. The app, dubbed "Maya," uses cognitive behavior therapy techniques to teach coping strategies to young adults (aged 18 to 25). That's an age often rife with stress, as people transition from the family home into college and the workplace.
