Journaling reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 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 Journaling reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression?

Unclear. Two placed sources give partial support: a preliminary randomized trial reports that positive affect journaling reduced anxiety and mental distress in medical patients with elevated anxiety, and a discussion paper reports that journaling-based catharsis relieved symptoms in early adulthood. Neither settles the general claim that journaling reduces both anxiety and depression symptoms.
