Question: In adults with an anxiety disorder or a mood disorder, how effective is homeopathy, compared to any other intervention, in improving patient outcomes?

High quality, adequately powered trials, with sufficient length of follow-up to adequately assess treatment effects in these conditions, are lacking.
