Anxiety disorders includes Social Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Agoraphobia. Some participants had multiple comorbidities. Symptom scales included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Self-report version of the Zanarini Rating Scale for Borderline Personality Disorder (ZAN-BPD-SRV), Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Social Adjustment Scale Self-Report (SAS-SR). For continuous variables, we compared groups with t-tests and show test statistic t and p-value. For categorical variables, we compared frequencies with Fisher’s exact tests and show odds-ratio P.
