Description
Jamil Nasif, Agnes Chong Shu Sze, and Mahadir Ahmad pilot a therapy in a 2026 study of panic disorder in Palestine. Talk therapy of the cognitive behavioral kind is a proven panic treatment, but versions adapted to local culture are rarely tested in Palestinian groups. Their pilot gauges whether a full trial is feasible and how patients fare.
Thirty adults with panic disorder in the West Bank took part, half given the adapted therapy and half wait-listed. The therapy ran as weekly one-to-one sessions, up to twelve, shaped to local social context. Twenty-two people finished the final checks. Panic and anxiety scores, plus quality of life, were tracked with standard scales. Early results favored the therapy group strongly, though the authors stress the small, complete-case nature of the test.
