Note. Participants who were enrolled but never started the treatment were included in the All Participants category, but not the Dropouts category. Total number of diagnoses includes current and partial remission (PR) diagnoses. Duration of SAD and depression since onset were calculated by subtracting the age of onset from the current age. History of hospitalization and suicide attempt were dichotomized into 0 versus 1 or more. GAF = Global Assessment of Functioning; SAD = social anxiety disorder; GAD = Generalized Anxiety Disorder; ADHD = Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder; OCD = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; PTSD = Post-traumatic Stress Disorder; BDD = Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
