The Best Exercise For Depression & Anxiety — Equals Or Exceeds Pills & Therapy (M)
A recent study found that regular exercise can be as effective as medication and psychotherapy for treating depression and anxiety, with the greatest benefits observed in emerging adults. Participants who engaged in moderate‑intensity aerobic activity for at least 150 minutes per week showed significant reductions in depressive symptoms and anxiety levels over a 12‑week period. The research compared exercise outcomes directly with standard antidepressant regimens and cognitive‑behavioral therapy, revealing comparable or superior results for the active group. These findings suggest physical activity could serve as a low‑cost, accessible first‑line treatment for mental‑health disorders.
