The Effect of Meditation on Anxiety Among Young Adults
International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research April 30, 2025 Kiran Prasadh, A Nilofer
Over three months, college students who practiced Transcendental Meditation (TM) for 20 minutes twice daily showed a significant reduction in anxiety, with average GAD-7 scores dropping from 13.2 to 7.1. A control group receiving no intervention showed minimal change, from 12.9 to 12.4. The results suggest that regular TM practice can be an effective, low-cost tool for reducing anxiety in this population.
