Suffering from depression and anxiety disorders? More physical activities and workouts may help to uplift the mood and improve your mental health problems, suggests a new study.<\/p>\n
The study by Michigan State University found that exercises can quickly elevate a depressed mood, and the patients should create a comprehensive exercise plan and work regularly to achieve the specific goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cPhysical activity has been shown to be effective in alleviating mild to moderate depression and anxiety,\u201d Carol Janney, Assistant Professor at Michigan State University in the US, said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurrent physical activity guidelines advise at least 30 minutes of exercise in five days a week to promote mental and physical health,\u201d Janney added.<\/p>\n
The researchers studied over 295 mental health patients and asked if the patients wanted their therapists to help them become more physically active.<\/p>\n
The results showed over 80 per cent of the patients believed that the exercises recommended by the researchers helped them in improving their moods and anxiety in less time.<\/p>\n
The study, published in the journal General Hospital Psychiatry, noted the statements of more than half of the participants who claimed that their depressed mood limited their ability to exercise.<\/p>\n
\u201cOffering physical activity programs inside the mental health clinics may be one of many patient-centered approaches that can improve the mental and physical health of patients,\u201d Janney said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
