How to Beat Depression with Exercise: Depression Skills 7 | Dr. Rami Nader

Are you looking for a way to feel better and improve your mood? Well, you might want to consider exercising regularly. Studies have shown that regular exercise can be just as effective at treating some types of depression as medication and therapy. Not only can exercise help you come out of a depressive episode, but it can also prevent future episodes. But how does exercise have such a powerful effect on depression? First off, exercise can help reduce the impact of stress, which is a common trigger for depression. Exercise also boosts your energy levels, and certain forms of exercise, like running, can even give you a mood-enhancing effect known as the "runner's high." Plus, when you exercise, you become more active in general, which can lead to increased efficiency in daily tasks. And let's not forget that regular exercise is a sign that you're taking steps to improve your mental and physical health. So, if you're interested in giving exercise a try, here are some tips to get started: Set small goals and increase them gradually over time; Focus more on the frequency of exercise rather than the intensity or duration; choose forms of exercise that you actually enjoy doing; Mix things up and try different types of exercise to keep it interesting.
