; Evidence-Based Treatments
: '''Exposure Therapy''' → Gradually facing a fear (e.g., spiders) until the anxiety response "extinguishes."
: '''DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)''' → Specifically designed for borderline personality disorder, focusing on mindfulness and emotional regulation.
: '''ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)''' → Using mindfulness to accept negative thoughts rather than fighting them.
: '''Group Therapy''' → Leveraging social support to show patients they are not "alone" in their struggle.
