Leptine Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Physical activity definitely helps a lot improving the mood, but in certain situations obviously it is not enough. 2
Mandalore Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I can attest to this from personal experience. I went through a big depressive slump at some point in my life so I started going for early morning jogs and became regular at the gym again and it's honestly mindblowing how quickly things turned around mentally for me. 6
shyboi Posted February 17 Author Posted February 17 1 minute ago, stupidjock said: Weight lifting. Maybe you are onto something here yeah, the more intense the exercise* the less mind space you have to overthink After that, your dopamine and serotonin levels will remain up for up to 24 hours and when they go down, they will be more balanced than before starting the exercise. *this is a not a medical advice, always consult a doctor first before engaging in any type of physical activity.
highwayuni Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Interesting to see that exercise + SSRI has the biggest range of responses. Also seeing how different forms of exercise vary in effectiveness for treating of depression. Depression needs to be hit biologically, socially and psychologically. SSRI’s can be hit and miss, so you need to partner it with other interventions like therapy or regular exercise.
єѕℓαм Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Yeah maybe Personally since i started working out and getting in shape it boosted my self confidence and psychologically when u look at urself in the mirror and u like what you’re seeing it makes u feel happier & more positive
Roberto Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Yeah, I don't know. When I was depressed, I was going to the gym and nothing happened. Meds actually helped me with it.

But i 100% agree, sometimes exercise IS NOT enough, specially if the depression is life threatening. Edited February 17 by shyboi

dman4life Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Everyone's journey with depression is different. Personally, cutting out alcohol completely and working out regularly has done wonders for my mental health! 5
wildsidenormani Posted February 17 Posted February 17 We're far too reliant on medication to treat depression and anxiety IMO. It was dangerously easy for me to get prescribed an SSRI (and even a benzodiazepine at once point) without it being made clear to me how reliant I would become on them 2
