There is exciting new research comparing exercise, mindfulness, and breathing to current drug treatments for anxiety. A research study in JAMA Psychiatry on November 9, 2022. The study provides evidence for clinicians, insurers, and healthcare systems to recommend, include and provide reimbursement for mindfulness-based stress reduction as an effective treatment for anxiety disorders. This is big news as the movement is becoming stronger to include mindfulness, breathing, and exercise programs to combat anxiety and depression versus immediately going to drug treatments. This is an episode you don’t want to miss. Be sure and consult a doctor before making any changes to your depression or anxiety treatments.

QUOTES BY DR. BRAY “It is so important to do mindfulness techniques! You can do them any time.” “Getting out and exercising helps relieve anxiety.”
