Research finds that exercise is an effective method for managing the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress across numerous populations. While the benefits of exercise are generally recognized for physical health, they’re often overlooked in the management of mental health disorders.
One out of every eight people worldwide has a mental health disorder. These disorders are commonly treated with antidepressants. For some patients, antidepressant medications have undesirable side effects, such as gastrointestinal disorders, loss of sex drive, and weight gain.
