Scientists find exercise rivals therapy for depression
www.sciencedaily.com

A large review of studies suggests that exercise can ease depression about as effectively as psychological therapy. Compared with antidepressants, exercise showed similar benefits, though the evidence was less certain. Researchers found that light to moderate activity over multiple sessions worked best, with few side effects. While it’s not a cure-all, exercise may be a powerful and accessible tool for many people.

    Maybe for your depression. If it hasn’t helped mine in the last 40 years, it sure ain’t gonna start now.

    I’m surprised it only “rivals”.

    As a fat lad with ADHD, little galls me more than knowing that exercise really is good for my mental health. If I walk or scoot to work, I’m generally more alert and attentive than if I drive.

    Dunno how true that is of depression, mind.
