In reply to excersize for depression/anxiety? also Adrafinil, posted by adamie on November 24, 2001, at 20:00:54
adamie,
I just started back at the gym this Monday. There must be something in the air for us Babblers. :-)
I do find that exercise helps with my depression. I also find that it helps with sexual side-effects. One possible explanation is that my testosterone levels might be higher because of the weight-lifting and muscle-building. Anyway, why bother with a complicated explanation so long as it works!
I exercised for years along with just talk therapy. I know this combo helped. But alas that combo was not enough for me. I needed to add meds to the mix. Even with the meds I feel better if I exercise regularly.
Take Care,
Simcha
