Summary: " ... explores the fact that physical activity has an inverse relationship with depression (major depression) and anxiety. In general, evidence shows that exercise improves mood. The DVD also reviews that fact that non-depressed physically active young and old individuals have fewer depressive symptoms and a decreased likelihood of developing depression. In addition, the DVD discusses that fact that depressed patients in exercise programs were found to have significantly improved symptoms, as well as were determined to experience benefits that may extend past their treatment period"--Container.
