Abstract

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions experienced worldwide. As such, there is significant investment into the treatment of this disorder and to alleviate the effects it has on the individual. While various interventions exist, such as pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions, more is needed to combat the growing scope of anxiety. This chapter presents empirical evidence for combining two effective treatments: psychotherapy and physical exercise. It also suggests some practical ways in which this can be integrated in healthcare systems. Additional recommendations are provided to facilitate this integration of this combined treatment for both consumers and healthcare professionals.
