Thinking about skipping your workout because of a flat mood? If you’re upset, depressed, or anxious, a recent study indicates that’s when you need exercise the most. It’s so effective for mental health, it may even speed healing for psychiatric patients.
Those findings were revealed in a study on physical exercise published in the journal Global Advances in Health and Medicine. The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Vermont Medical Center, in conjunction with the medical center’s inpatient psychiatry unit.
