the claim

Daily positive self-affirmations reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in adults.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that daily positive self-affirmations reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in adults?

Unclear. Only partial support appears: one study of daily affirmations measured adolescent self-esteem, and a psoriasis trial reported short-term reductions in depression and anxiety after self-affirmation, while a teacher-education case study measured neither. No retrieved item directly tests daily positive self-affirmations reducing anxiety and depression in general adults.
