These initial findings suggest that the anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of REST persist for at least two days, and that repeated REST sessions may have additive effects on lowering anxiety-related symptoms. These findings could help to determine the optimal intervention frequency of REST and facilitate future investigations focused on the combination of REST with standard treatments for anxiety and depression.
