Can you reverse brain damage from anxiety/chronic stress? if so, how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not quite sure what: you mean by brain damage in this context. However, you can improve your quality of life by managing your stress. To address stress: Talk about feelings & address problems. Don't avoid them. Aim for 7.5 - 8 hours of sleep/ night. Daily physical activity is optimal in a green space. Eat healthfully. Cut out junk carbs, caffeine & alcohol (or moderate). Try Qi Gong, Tai Chi, acupuncture, acupressure
