A recent study finds that physical activity can improve symptoms of depression and anxiety.
looked at the effects of a three-week exercise program for people who’d been diagnosed with major depressive disorder. That study found benefits like increased playfulness, reduced, more social cooperation, and greater motivation. Brain scans also indicated that with more exercise, participants saw advantages in neuroplasticity, which means activity was literally changing how their brains worked.
All of these changes can have an effect on depression symptoms, according to Rosenkranz, and they build on each other for“Exercise on its own isn’t a cure for depression and shouldn’t take the place of supervised treatment if that’s needed,” Rosenkranz said. “But for preventing depressive symptoms, getting better emotional balance, and even improving brain function, it really doesn’t take much activity or very long to see those results.
