Daily meditation may work as well as a popular drug to calm anxiety, study finds
📖 From npr.org
NPR reports on a trial comparing an eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction program with escitalopram in adults with diagnosed anxiety disorders.
About the study
The program involved structured instruction and practice; the study did not test a brief meditation exercise.
The findings apply to that program and study population. Treatment decisions need an individual discussion with a qualified clinician; discuss medication changes with your prescriber.
