Exercise, meditation: You are not alone! This is a very common condition. With the explosive increase in medical knowledge and diagnostic testing, fear and anxiety about our health has also increased. Although medications (SSRIs, SNRIs) are effective, other non-medication therapies can reduce stress: adequate exercise, religious/spiritual interventions like meditation/prayer/yoga, group therapy, and plenty of sleep.
