Exercise is 1.5 times more effective in treating depression and anxiety than counselling or medication, according to a new study.
Hitting the gym or going for a run can help with mild to moderate depression, scientists said.
Resistance work-outs had the largest impact on depression, while yoga and other mind-body exercises were most effective in reducing anxiety, according to University of South Australia’s research into 97 reviews, 1,039 trials and 128,119 participants.
