This article Dr. Raison is discussing anxiety and depression. He answers FAQ about anxiety and depression and how to deal with them. He gives a couple of different studies on them and explains how some are effective and some aren't. For example, using alcohol and marijuana to help reduce anxiety. However, only few test have shown this actually works. Raison exclaims, “They should watch out for the possibility that they become more anxious or depressed after drinking or using marijuana” (Raison). I feel as if this is not a good idea to deal with anxiety or depression. One may feel as if this could possibly make the symptoms worse. Also another example, “studies are being done all the time, and other forms of therapy are also emerging as highly effective” (Raison) I feel as if therapy is a great solution to these symptoms. If people learned how to deal and solve these problems they would try and turn to drugs or alcohol for solutions. I choose this article because it connected to some issues you could have as an everyday problem. School for instance, it could cause you to have anxiety say if you have a big presentation or test coming up. If you learned the possible ways to not suffer for these symptoms it could possibly change your lifestyle.
What is the authors point of view? I feel as if the authors point of view is not to necessarily turn to drugs or alcohol to sabel your moods out. I also feel as if he thinks you should turn to exercise, as stated in the article, “exercise has been repeatedly shown to be of value” (Raison). Raison feels as if exercises has shown an increasing amount of change in people who suffer from anxiety and depression. However, his main solution is psychotherapy.
