A study into whether physical activity alleviates the symptoms of depression has found there is no benefit.

Research published in the British Medical Journal suggests that adding a physical activity intervention to usual care did not reduce symptoms of depression more than usual care alone.

This contrasts with current clinical guidance which recommends exercise to help those suffering from the mental illness, which affects one in six adults in Britain at any one time.

I thought this was true and all - fuck yeah, randomised controlled trials!

i’m waiting for the study that proves that yoga at sunrise actually makes depression worse

woww holy poop nearly every counselor and therapist i’ve ever had has recommend exorcise to help my depression.

first suggestion my doctor made. you’re technically obese, why not exercise, it will help with depression too? i’m like… yall really have never had depression huh? 

Fucking burn every doctor or therapist who rammed the “just exercise it will fix your depression” shit down my throat and then told me I wasn’t doing enough when it didn’t work.
