Abstract

The aim of this study is to review evidence of treatment interventions for patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders. The author searched PubMed, StillOne Search, and EBSCohost for treatment interventions, specifically exercise and pharmaceuticals. Eligible articles were all relevant peerreviewed articles that evaluated treatment effectiveness of either exercise or pharmaceutical interventions for anxiety disorders. Conclusions found that exercise programs are a viable treatment option for anxiety with ease of access and without added negative side effects.
