Exercise Can Ease Depression |

Aerobic exercise alone can have a significant impact on mild to
moderate depression, says a study by researchers at the University of
Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
The study found that taking part in 30-minute aerobic exercise sessions
three to five times a week reduced depressive symptoms by nearly 50
percent in adults aged 20 to 45. The results are comparable to findings
from studies in which people with mild to moderate depression were
treated with antidepressants or cognitive therapy.
"The effect you find using aerobic exercise alone in treating clinical
depression is similar to what you find with antidepressant medications.
The key is the intensity of the exercise and continuing it for 30 to 35
minutes per day. It's not for the faint of heart," study co-author Dr.
Madhukar Trivedi, director of UT Southwestern's mood disorders research
program, said in a prepared statement.
The study appears in the January issue of the American Journal of
Preventive Medicine.
"Numerous effective treatments for depression are available, yet many
people don't seek treatments for depression because of the negative
social stigma still associated with the disease. Exercise may offer a
viable treatment alternative, particularly as it can be recommended for
most individuals," Trivedi said.

The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

No!
I totally agree that physical exertion
is an excellent therapy for depressive insomnia.
When you've run a 50-mile marathon,
you SHALL sleep, and sleep wonderfully.
(And a good sleep is truly therapeutic.)
Not that I've ever run a marathon.
I learned how to put myself
to sleep using muscle-relaxation
techniques taught at rehab.
ButI also noticed that
on the odd occasion when
I pushed an empty wheelbarrow
from one end of the garage
to the other,
I slept so peacefully -the whole night!
And woke up refreshed!
(And avoided the garage for 2 weeks thereafter)

I know, it's hard to hear sometimes when one of the things that depression
can do is make you so tired, so fatigued that the idea of getting exercise
seems like the last thing you want to spend what little energy you have on.
I think sometimes it's one of those things that are sorta like that idea of
"you have to spend money to make money", where sometimes the very thing that
is difficult, like exercise when you have no energy, is a thing that can
actually increase energy. Very hard to start on, but it tends to pay off,
sometimes in a big way. Exercise releases helpful chemicals and helps
combat depression and other nasty stuff. You're right, it's oft-repeated.
It probably deserves to be, but it can be hard to hear and hard to do at
first!

i joined a gym. that's a good first step, right?
unfortunately, i joined months ago, and have not yet set foot
into the facility... my excuse right now is a painful back. i
wonder what next month's 'reason' will be?

Nurses told me to start with walking. Some also ran walking groups as
part of their job, part of the program. They also had gym, pool and
trail time, but walking on sidewalks and in parks was the bottom entry
to the whole exercise program, the bottom step.

i do walk sometimes. mostly mall walking. it has to be indoors
now, though i much prefer outdoors. i have access to the track
at the gym, i just have to get down there. it's about a 40-
minute drive from home, not really near anyplace else i go. when
i had a membership at a gym near work, i went 3 days a week.
this one is free, though, which is in my current price range.

after my car accident last year, when i first hurt my back, i
was sent to pt. they put me through a great selection of
whole-body exercises. they sent me home with a set of
therabands and instructions on how to use them at home to
contine exercising without their equipment. i used the
therabands for maybe a month, then misplaced them.
i have full access to a college gym facility, with a track and
full weight room. there's a pool across campus, but that needs
to be scheduled around the kayakers, so i probably won't be
using it.

I can't exercise alone. No.Can.Do. Why? because all I can think
about is how painful it is. I can't join a class because it would
have to be with senior citizens and all those classes
Which is why I've gotten Thor to start learning to dance salsa. He's
gotten through the first couple of lessons so far. We're actually up
to the point where we dance together! (the first lessons concentrate
on just learning the step patterns by yourself and also some leader
techniques). Although that session made my shoulders & hands hurt.

Well, heck, it's a lot easier to take a pill then it is to walk 5 miles...
it takes a lot less motivation too - that stuff lot of depressives are short
on anyways.
Maybe if someone invents a pill that will give you motivation to go
exercise.... ;)

Perhaps a very heavy pill, or one that tries to run away? Somehow I don't
think that would work but it might be entertaining.
