Exercise Eases Depression
Three Canadian psychiatrists called for exercise to be included in depression treatment as a specific prescription that takes into account the type, intensity and duration of activity and is monitored regularly. A review of 218 trials involving 14,170 people with depression found that walking, running, yoga and strength training may ease symptoms, with higher-intensity activities generally offering greater benefits, though confidence in the evidence was low or very low. Physical activity at half the recommended level was also associated with an 18% lower risk of depression, while meeting the full recommendation was associated with a 25% lower risk; the findings did not establish that exercise alone caused the reduction. The psychiatrists advised starting gradually, even with a five-minute walk or chair-based exercises.
