The researchers concluded that exercise is clearly as effective as antidepressant medication.
The significance of these findings is that antidepressant medications usually take several weeks or months to show their full effect, unlike exercise, which can immediately improve mood.
The researchers added that exercise can counteract some of the harmful side effects of antidepressants, such as weight gain.
The scientists explained that exercise activates the brain as well as the body, as physical exercise leads to the release of a protein known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which is one of the key molecules that encourages the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus, an area of the brain important in memory and learning.
Physical activity also dampens the body’s stress response and reduces inflammation, both of which can help improve brain health in people with mental illness.
