Depression is a common mental illness, mainly manifested as depression, decreased interest, pessimism, slow thinking, lack of initiative, self-blame, poor diet and sleep, fear of various diseases, general discomfort, and even suicidal thoughts and behaviors in severe cases. Running helps to treat mild depression.

University of Wisconsin psychiatrist John? h？ Grist randomly selected 28 patients with mild to moderate depression and divided them into three groups: one group was jogging, the other group was short-term psychotherapy, and the other group was infinite-time psychotherapy. Within a week, most joggers began to feel better. Within three weeks, they all said, "Almost no problem."

Grist concluded that running is not only comparable to short-term psychotherapy in eliminating mild depression, but also more effective than unlimited long-term psychotherapy. He followed up for two years and found that most patients still insisted on running. Because there is a downward trend of norepinephrine in patients with depression, and exercise can raise this substance to normal level like antidepressants, running exercise can treat depression.

Running is not only comparable to short-term psychotherapy in eliminating mild depression, but also more effective than unlimited long-term psychotherapy. So depression can be treated by running exercise.

It's worth a try, but stick to it, don't take exercise and fitness as a burden, and study happily. Exercise can make people clear-headed, clear-headed and release stress, but if you want to treat depression well, you have to adjust your mentality slowly by yourself and have friends to accompany you.
