But it’s trickier to test exercise as a treatment for existing depression. You have to study it like any medicine, by recruiting people with the condition and randomly assigning them to the intervention — in this case, exercise — or a control group and scrupulously tracking what happens.
In practical terms, these numbers suggest that, for every two people with depression who start to exercise, one of them should experience “a large-magnitude reduction in depressive symptoms,” Heissel said.Those statistics represent “somewhat better” outcomes than those seen in recent studies of psychotherapy and drug treatment for depression, said Felipe Schuch, a professor researching exercise and mental health at the University of Santa Maria in Brazil and senior author of the study.
Murray Stein of UCSD agrees. “Exercise has so many health benefits that it should be prescribed for virtually anything that ails humankind,” he said.
Well of course it is ONE of the best. But THEE BEST cure for depression is living your life for Jesus Christ.
From experience, it's pretty hard to work up the motivation to exercise if you're depressed. These are oversimplistic remedies to complex problems.

No shit Sherlock
Groundbreaking news 🤦🏻♂️
That's just common sense humanGPT
The Washington Post❤
Yeah, but at what cost?
but when you are depressed you don't want to exercise
Excellent , but nothing new.
I always feel better after a good workout 💪🏼
Agree!
Exercise is white supremacy, bigots.
Absolutely secondary. The best treatment against depression is falling in love (the way Quixote with Dulcinea if necessary; that is, just from imagination) and 2nd best, laughing.
This is a dangerous right wing ideology that will only result in mass suicide amongst my precious blacks and beloved Asians!!! Down with white supremacy, now and for always!!!
Tell that to the RoyalNavy . Yeah i'm sending torpedoes. The Royal Navy apparently has a habit of blocking Australians., Canadians. Kiwis and US Citizens like me. Either that or i'm on FBI 's list as being a terrorist. Embarrassing RoyalAirForce , embarrassing for democracy
Is not that racist? Healthy diet is racist, i thought exercising is also.
WUT! You mean it's not a hand full of pills from BIG PHARMA? But, but, but,....the left told us big pharma is good and wholesome and can be trusted. Just shut up and take what big pharma pushes on us. That's what the left said
Serious endurance athlete checking in. I've dealt with major depression most of my life. Exercise is NOT a panacea.
Agreed. So tired of having to defend my choice of not taking antidepressants that I'm told will make me sick & choosing to exercise instead. Endorphins FTW. Plus exercise benefits my overall health & functioning.
Wow, reassuring.
Cc: John Fetterman PS, you probably should be eating actual food, not Wendy's.
Or examine who your voting for.
Surely, better to train or run marathons than watch Netflix or other sofa crap....
Shocker
