@AlanSMartino This is fantastic news. Congratulations!!

I feel I should clarify in case not clear: This review didn't look at "effectiveness" ie it didn't weigh good impacts against bad. We need studies like that of psych hospitals & there are virtually none. It highlights common adverse impacts, like identifying the most common adverse drug effects in a drug trial. One can interpret further, but the study authors themselves didn't.

If you're experiencing anxiety today, consider taking a walk outdoors...maybe hide under some leaves, ultimately return to your natal pond, become fully aquatic
