Weighted plush teddy bears have been used for years by medical professionals and therapists who specialize in anxiety from grief to benefit their patients.

Although further research is required, some research has already been done on weighted blankets, which provide a similar kind of support. According to a study on weighted blankets, 8 out of 10 individuals felt more at ease after wearing one, and 6 out of 10 said their anxiety levels had decreased.

The fundamental idea behind stuffed animals and weighted blankets is that the extra weight can provide deep pressure contact, which is supposed to soothe the nervous system and cause the production of dopamine and serotonin. A weighted blanket or weighted plush stuffed animal can help you sleep better, which can assist with anxiety and ADHD symptoms.
