A workout for depression
By Jeanne Sabatie, Production Editor
Exercise can reduce the symptoms of depression. A study published in the April British Journal of Sports Medicine found that a small group of adults with moderate to severe depression showed a significant drop in depression scores after only 10 days of exercising 30 minutes a day. A study in the April issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology likewise confirms that exercise is associated with less depressed mood, but finds that depression returns when workouts are discontinued.
