Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Music therapy is used for reducing anxiety in a variety of clinical settings. Listening to music may help reduce heart rate and blood pressure in patients with coronary heart disease. Music therapy has not been shown to decrease cholesterol and homocysteine levels in patients with coronary heart disease. Even though the music employed is usually calming, it is unclear which specific style or type of music, duration, and frequency are most effective.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3, 4, 5
Explanation: Meditation, biofeedback, and progressive muscle relaxation are mind and body practices that have been shown effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Kava and DHEA are natural supplements, not mind and body practices.
