Breathing exercises work. I do them every single day, and I no longer have to take anxiety medication. I am almost always aware of my /breathing patterns/. You may want to search for "breathing" on Hacker News. Here are actual extremely informative comments to go through, sorted by most recent (this is important because of COVID-19 as people have been thinking about breathing more): https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=…

Thanks for elaborating, I'm vaguely familiar with what's known as "breathwork" but had no idea there were specific electronic devices/development like this. Do you find the electronic device a necessity to achieve results? It sounds like it's worth it to you, but >$1k is a bit steep of an initial ask.

Where in Europe are you talking about, and what age category? Because I can tell you that in the Netherlands this is very much wrong.

Emotions swing when the little burst of rew…

Amphetamines cause the release of norepinephrine as a major component of their effect.

Yes just like SNRIs antidepressants so what is the difference? (stimulants also are dopamine reuptake inhibitors and low serotonine reuptake inhibitor) And no it does not cause the release of any monoamine, when they are released they can stay longer in the brain before being garbage collected which virtually increase their density. It is an unknown whether delayed this garbage collection cycle accelerate ageing or o…
