Stress Management for GAD
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston

Principal Investigator: Elizabeth Hoge, MD

Description of Study: This is an 8-week research study in which participants will receive stress-reduction classes free of charge. Classes are held one evening a week for 1.5 - 2.5 hours at Massachusetts General Hospital. We will also measure stress hormones in the saliva and blood. The purpose of the study is to compare two programs for stress-management, which we believe may help people with generalized anxiety disorder.

Eligibility Criteria:
Participants must be at least 18 years of age and must be free of any serious medical problems.  Individuals with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or recent alcohol or substance abuse are not eligible for participation.
