Moderate, daily exercise has been proven to be as effective, or even more effective than medication to relieve symptoms of mild to moderate depression. I can attest to this firsthand! After experiencing some moderate post-partum depression after the birth of my second child, even just the thought of exercising was completely overwhelming. I ended up going on medication for depression, which helped to get me out of the pit and onto the treadmill, but once I began exercising, I found that I no longer needed the meds! As soon as I let off on the exercise, my brain goes back to that heavy, foggy, tired, depressed feeling all over again. I then have to fight my way back out of that pit and get back on the treadmill, but it works every time. When the weather is nice, getting outside for a brisk walk in the sunshine is even better! I'd much rather do something that is beneficial for my body and my mind than be dependent on chemicals! I would highly recommend adding exercise to this list!
