HealthDay (12/18, Thompson) reports a study found that a single half-hour course could help young adults “feel less anxious and depressed, by helping them increase their tolerance of uncertainty.” According to researchers, “young adults who took the course titled ‘Uncertainty-Mindset Training’ continued to feel better a month after taking it.” Even though the course “lasted less than a half-hour,” participants, up to a month later, still “showed substantial improvement in their ability to tolerate uncertainty, as well as decreases in anxiety and depression.” Researchers noted that “three months later, these participants’ tolerance of uncertainty was still much improved, but the reductions in depression and anxiety had started to wane.” The study was published in Psychological Medicine.
