Daily exercise, such as walking, can help reduce stress levels. Learning more about the illness can help reduce anxiety and provide the adolescent with a sense of control. Practicing deep breathing and other relaxation techniques can help the adolescent manage stress and anxiety. Not thinking about the diagnosis or allowing parents to control the disease are not effective stress-reduction activities.
