over the years, I have suggested (this goes back to the 1980's) that people dealing with stress watch cartoons or do coloring books
Cartoons for people dealing with Depression (as the colors somehow soothed them) and coloring for those dealing with intense, short-term stress (same reason, but the motor activity helped "spread out" some of the physical tension stored within the body)
I made these suggestions then (and still do sometimes) because I felt they were simple, cost-effective means of dealing with anxiety
they work . . . I find it interesting (but not surprising) that in a time in which so many people are "anxious" that "adult coloring"
would be a "craze"
