New Australian research from James Cook University reveals that exercise is equally effective as medication and therapy for treating depression and anxiety. Aerobic activities like running, walking and swimming show significantly higher impact on depression symptoms, while group and supervised exercise also demonstrate strong benefits. The study found exercise particularly effective for postnatal depression, with researchers emphasising the importance of tailoring workout types to individual circumstances.
