I'm trying to find evidence based interventions for anxiety. Particularly for students in a school setting.

    I can't speak to the school setting ~ as interventions... I did find that cross country running was quite restful though (and certainly better than team contact sports, that were one of the things I was most anxious about (being about 6 stone at 16...))

    In recent years I've rediscovered walking (long distances, in the countryside, following footpaths - often as a detour on the way to or from an appointment) to be really good for mood generally, and that and a really good therapist have allowed me to cope a lot better with anxiety - I still *feel* exactly the same when I have a panic attack, or when I have to face a challenging task (which being 'anxiety' challenging, can actually be almost anything in the 'wrong' circumstances), but I can park the anxiety a bit and do bits of what I need, and ask for help for areas where I get stuck.

    tell the kid to stop worrying.

    lots of xanax helps anxiety.

    show the kids what its like to live in a third world country and make them say ''wow at least i dont have to worry about a king deciding im going to be his new wife and now i have to have a baby with that dude you is probly fat ugly and bald and will beat your *** everday if you are not perfect for him''

    show the kids whats its like to be born in detroit. the only anxiety people should suffer from is fear of getting beat up or worse. if your not going to die or lose your job then stop worrying.

    anxiety is school is from an overactive brain making a a small stress situation into a larger streess situation.

    yea a video of being a kid in a third world country should make them study harder
