Depression and Exercise
Depression is commonly treated with a combination of therapy with a mental health provider and medication prescribed by a doctor. However, there is more you can do for yourself. Research has shown that exercise is an effective element in treating depression. When you can combine all three, you might see even better results! By activating your brain’s natural chemicals, vigorous, regular exercise reduces the symptoms of depression, boosts self-esteem and improves sleep. Furthermore, continued regular exercise supports recovery and reduces the chances of depression returning. Because depression can be a serious condition, you should always consult a professional before deciding upon any course of treatment. Talk with your healthcare provider about the benefits of exercise for your mental and emotional health.
