How it works
Increases GABA, serotonin, BDNF, and endorphins. Habituates the body to physiological arousal, reducing the fearful interpretation of a racing heart.
High-intensity exercise can briefly increase anxiety in panic disorder — start with moderate intensity. The effect is dose-dependent: more is better up to approximately 150 min/week.
Multiple meta-analyses confirm large effect sizes for exercise in anxiety, comparable to psychotherapy. Exercise also prevents relapse.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
