Research on Exercise and Depression
Exercise May Help Relieve Depression: Exercise may help relive depression in women for whom other treatments failed to work, a small Italian study published in the journal Clinical Practice and Epidemiology in Mental Health indicates.
Depressive symptoms in women who participated in the study’s supervised exercise program were significantly reduced compared with a control group of women who didn’t exercise but just took medication. Among other reasons, the finding might be attributed to exercise’s effects on certain brain chemicals associated with depression. (Reuters, 7/19/07)
