Exercise May Lift Cloud of Depression
Exercise May Lift Cloud of Depression
More good news about the effects of exericse on depression at the link above. Most studies have looked at exercise versus anti-depressants at the two week period, which is the earliest that most anti-depressants start working. In this study, they looked only at exercise, and only at one session.
It will probably come as no surprise to "veteran" depressives, but the researchers were shocked that just one session could lift depressives' moods not just up from the botton, but actually into the realm of true positive affect. In other words, they felt good after exercise, not just less bad.
