A brisk 30-minute walk or jog three times a week may be just as effective in relieving major depression as are standard antidepressant drugs, researchers have found.

[Obayan]

It's the act of getting outside and doing something more than anything else.

[Warmsoul/Jeanie13]

lisaniel, not always true. If this is what you feel, then good. But it isn't true for many, keep in mind that many have other issues with the depression.

I agree that exercise is an effective weapon against depression. However, the statement that depression can be formulated in a sedentary I think it's pretty stupid. Just look at all the athletes who suffer from depression. They are certainly not the exercise.

Some can't exercise, per doctor. Where I am at for now. But still I remain active and work.....

I go to the gym, do weights and the occassional class. I feel a bit better when I go, but actually getting there can be a major task when feeling low

I exercise most days doing 1 or 2 of: walking(having a dog helps motivate me), bicycling outdoors or indoors, tennis. The exercise does give me some depression relief for a while.

Want to, but other health issues prevent it. Do what I can.
