The Magnificence of Exercise: Choose Movement Over Medication

Psychotherapist Bob Livingstone writes about the benefits of exercise in his new book "The Body Mind Soul Solution: Healing Emotional Pain through Exercise" (Pegasus Books). He feels that the program in his book that combines exercise, self-questioning, journaling and listening to music is a healthy alternative to medication.

There is increasing evidence that exercise is just as effective as or more beneficial than medication for the depressed. One Duke University study titled "Effects of exercise training on older patients with major depression" determined that exercise was just as effective as medication in reducing Major Depressive Disorder in older patients without the adverse side effects of the drugs.

Another Duke University study found that continued exercise greatly reduces the possibility that depression will return, and a study that took place at The University of University of Texas Southwest Medical Center at Dallas also indicates that exercise alone would greatly reduce the symptoms of depression.
