"Running: A Potential Alternative to Antidepressants for Depression?"

Running therapy may be as beneficial as antidepressants for treating depression and anxiety symptoms, according to a study conducted by researchers from Amsterdam. Both groups in the study experienced similar improvements in depression symptoms, but the running group also saw improvements in physical health, while the antidepressant group experienced slightly worse physical health. The study highlights the importance of exercise in the treatment of depression and anxiety and suggests caution in the use of antidepressants for physically unhealthy patients. However, it is important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating depression, and consulting with a medical professional is essential before making treatment decisions.
