What happens when you compare mindfulness meditation head-to-head with a leading anxiety medication?

In this talk, Dr. Elizabeth Hoge, psychiatrist and researcher at Georgetown University, shares findings from the first study of its kind—directly comparing Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with Lexapro for treating anxiety.
She’ll also explore how mindfulness may affect the body’s stress response, reactions to fear, and even brain activity, sharing MRI findings from participants who learned to meditate. 

Whether you’re a longtime meditator or mindfulness-curious, this session offers a grounded look at what the science really shows.
