Exercise for Anxiety Disorders: A Promising Adjunct

Anxiety disorders are a prevalent mental health condition that can significantly affect daily life. While medications and psychotherapy are commonly used to treat anxiety, some individuals may seek alternative approaches, such as exercise. This systematic review investigates the effectiveness of exercise as a treatment for anxiety disorders. The researchers analyzed data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the effects of exercise interventions on anxiety symptoms. The review found that exercise appears to be effective in reducing anxiety symptoms, particularly when used as an adjunct therapy alongside other treatments. However, the evidence is limited, and more research is needed to fully understand the role of exercise in treating anxiety disorders.

Exercise: A Valuable Tool in Anxiety Management

The review suggests that exercise can be a valuable adjunct therapy for managing anxiety disorders, offering a potential alternative or complement to medications and psychotherapy.
