I never believed this nonsense when I was deep down in the burrows of depression. But now I am a firm believer. The TRICK is to figure out an exercise program that DOESN'T stress you out. For me, it is a 3 mile walk every morning. I don't challenge myself physically, I just do my 3 miles and that's it. Have been doing it for 3 months now.
Bro if you are getting results from 3 miles of walking then you should push yourself to run an do push-ups an things like that. You don't need a gym. Just do some jail house workouts for like 3 months straight an youll see way more results. Ifcourse I don't know your physical health situation so be smart about it. Just some advice.
I've been told by doctors and therapists that exercising will help my depression. I've really gone downhill the last 8 years because i let my depression ruin me. Got addicted to drugs and a very toxic person. Gave up the person and giving up the drugs. Im praying exercising will help me get happy again.
I don’t have depression but I do have anxiety and it sucks, I started to walk to places to “clear my head” and I told this to my therapist who was thrilled that I did this. Sometimes these walks help, sometimes it doesn’t. Mental health is a bitch to deal with but I have faith that we all can push through 💜.
Exercise is the BEST way to combat depression and lack of motivation/drive. No medication compares. Try exercising... you'll feel the benefits immediately. I was having such a hard time just to get out of bed. A good jog cured that instantly.
Fernando Peña If you can manage getting out of in the morning to go run, why can’t it be done for regular purposes? I exercised for years and never felt any sense of euphoria. It hurt. I was tired, achy and never lost any weight or gained muscle mass. I stopped. Why waste any more time doing something that doesn’t help?
You also have to change your diet if you want to lose weight and gain muscle. Maybe try fasting long term for weight loss. I just run for motivation, better cognition, and to treat my depression, I'm not always happy, but I'm better at handling stress.
That's the thing, most days when i wanted to work out after work, as soon as I get done with work, I'm burnt out and redo the next day, week. Exercise is a huge factor, but hard to keep it as a routine.
Kudos for the Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you thought about - Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (just google it)? It is a good one of a kind guide for beating depression fast without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin at very last got cool success with it.
Lovely Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (do a google search)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for beating depression fast without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin got cool results with it.
Exercise has been a great help for me..I only had low moods but I’m now addicted to the gym but it’s a positive addiction seek professional help for severe depression though..give exercise a go as it can become a gateway for better sleep less anxiety and less feeling low..It’s especially good for,older adults as I’m 69
This is very true in my experience. I was least depressed when I exercised regularly with friends! :D For some people it is harder to use exercise than others, but we can all do something. Even if it's simple body weight exercise next to your bed each day. Give it a try and it will help! :)
Fighting depression comes in many forms and or remedies. Exercise for me and talking about the issues that stress me are ways to cope. But fighting depression I feel is the key to winning the battle. Time may be a factor but time needs to be supported with the fight. Keep fighting!
Sophie Anderson I was like that too but one day I said well either run or die and there I was running. I can’t run very long but each day I try harder and harder and I feel great.You can do it I believe in you STAY STRONG my friend
I was there too and was hospitalized several times, but it’s counterintuitive, exercise helps. Start small with body weight exercises and walks. See it as a prescription that you need to take everyday. Depression is heavy and dark, but trust, it definitely helps.
@@martinhall5722 Bro i am also in depression since last 3 months..i am on sedation so not able to wake up early in morning ...But definitely from tomorrow i will try bro
kingof206 I don't mean to scare you. But marijuana is what 100% caused my mental health issues to exaggerate. I used it from age 17-22. So yes, I did use it while my brain was still developing which now I NEVER suggest. I don't know your age so I can't say that will be a factor. But regardless it's still addictive and your brain will still depend on it. I smoked every day and used it in multiple forms. Anyways, I decided to stop. I'd always dealt with mental health issues. Light depression, anxiety, seasonal depression, OCD. But nothing prepared me for the dark hell that would arise when I stopped using marijuana entirely. It's been two years and it's still so hard. Every day is a mental hell I can't explain. Plus I began showing signs of PMDD after quitting. A few times I would smoke and I'd feel better for 3-4 weeks. It was usually a month or so at most. Which would mean a month without the PMDD as well. I admitted all this to my neurologist and he strongly believes the marijuana on my developing brain likely caused some permanent issues. People say marijuana is harmless. And while I still 100% advocate for it for many things, I do now realize it's not entirely safe. It's known to cause anxiety. It's known to cause permanent negative effects on developing brains, and our brains are still developing throughout our early adult life. And anyone who tells you otherwise is either uneducated or, frankly, lying to you. I'm not saying stop. Maybe it helps you. Great. But i feel compelled to point this out to people just in case because there's so much misinformation. Marijuana is a blessing in many regards. But it can and is very much so known to cause mental health issues in many people. Especially when you cease to use it.
@@BMarie774 I 100% agree I got extreme anxiety from smoking weed never had that issue in my life till I started. I still actively smoke but I am not denying weed was the cause of it. Now I use weed to cope with depression which is bad cuz I have to smoke soooo much I know my lungs are dying on me.. Trying other ways to cope
i see a lot of hurting people in the comments. i know that maybe watching this might give you some hope but know that your life is worth living and exercise might help but it's also the people around you that matter and will help lift you up :) YOU MATTER
I needed to hear this. Currently battling anxiety and depression from grief and losing my father Dec of last year 2022. It just hit me last week, but I know my family is here to help and uplift me.
My morning walks were so lovely. I lost 46 lbs in 3 months, cooked very healthy meals for my family, started journaling, got pregnant, saw a therapist and felt wonderful... But i had a miscarriage, felt abandoned and denied, yet again, by my mother, stopped walking because i started having angry outbursts at ppl and cars, journaling began bringing up suppressed childhood memories that kept me up at night... All this within 14 months. My husband bought a gym membership and we started going to gym which we thoroughly enjoyed but COVID hit...gym shut down, lost my job and started to decline rapidly. Gained all the weight back and by June 2020 i was pregnant again...unemployed and depressed. Our only child is 14 and im 36, 29 weeks pregnant and so stressed. Major depression has been with me for 30 years. My first suicide attempt was at age 6. Sometimes i wish i wouldve had the strength at 6 to get it done to avoid this long battle. But again those morning walks were very lovely.
Thanks, your advice is encouraging, did you even walk in the rain ? I live in the northern tip of Ireland and the winter weather can make it hard to walk or cycle everyday.
It can be very very hard to focus on positivity when our lives are like hell but for me I must say positive thinking really helps.. try to feel thankful for each little blessing you have and try to find positivity in everything and everyone even if its something you don't actually like
I'm basically sedentary. My nails have completely stopped growing, but when I go on family vacations, they have a growth spurt. I just bought a portable elliptical and hopefully that will be enough exercise to get my health back.
are you doing any cardio? anyway, you should seek the help of a professional therapist. not necessarily medication, but just talk therapy to figure out what issues are plaguing you and give you the daily tools to deal with them.
Yeah, usually around 20 minutes of biking. I've had depression since 6th grade (I'm in my late 20s now) due to personal issues and terrible self esteem. Little has changed since then; except now I am able to perform daily task and interactions, regardless of how bad I feel that day.
Kron Hertz i'm in the same boat as you. 20min might not be enough. i dont usually get a runners high until an hour in. it's a lot of time to put it, for sure, but if it helps, why not. again, i'd highly recommend some sort of talk therapy.
Kirk Henlon how many different meds have u tried? do u find the ones ur on currently to be helpful? i've never taken meds and am nervous about starting. i have taken adderall on and off, but it's mroe like a jumpstart for the symptoms of my depression. i dont actually have ADHD
Hey don't say that plateau is part of the normal exercise routine, especially when lifting weights. I am in your situation too...i go to gym a lot yet im not getting bigger or reaching my goal. But I did my resarch and learned that even bodybuilders experience this and so im not upset. Im gonna continue and never give up. If you want a friend im here for you i love to help people with anything especially gym...id go to gym wit u just to show u that it takes years and lots of time and effort before u reach your goal...i know this for fact because im reading about bodybuilding and exercise. So dont be bumbed out just know your not alone :)
Cycling works wonders, once i ignored what my thoughts on cycling were, and just did it. Went on a five hr ride today, gets me through the bumps in life, without stressing my system too much.
Yeah yeah. Whole lot of talk from people who don't suffer with depression. There's plenty of people who still excercise and have severe depression. No one has depression just because they don't excercise, but many find it hard to excercise because they have depression. It's hard to conduct studies of this sort as many tend to confuse a feeling of being depressed with actually having depression. And, these studies always try to paint a picture of this being the most significant link. Depression is different for everyone - it isn't a one size fits all. Excerise may well be a good 'distraction' for some... But, individually we find solice in different distrations. Excercise doesn't combat depression for everyone. Who is anyone to tell other people what will help them. So, don't make people feel anymore alienated than they have to, I'm sure many have tried excerise and it doesn't work for them. People who suffer with depression don't need to be told they're failing at anything else.
I understand your frustration with this, but as someone who has suffered from depression for years and still suffers from depression, exercise does help. No it won’t cure depression, and that’s also not implied, but it does help you feel more productive.
Any exercise is good for you but in my case it didn't help or at least it might have delayed the episodes until I could no longer work up the will to get on my bike.
Damien J i was depressed. i began to exercise. i rememer that i even cried during exercise. i still hate it. but i’m feeling better. i think it works but it’s very hard
Depression at its very worst is terrifying. Feeling that low that you feel you must check out of life. And you can see the depression happening to you. It’s unbelievably horrible, it scares me
Exercise does help me to some degree with depression, talking with someone and just saying I feel like ending my life requires some openness and reaching out, the song by U2 called stuck in a moment is really good,
I exercised to help with depression. After a while and the fitter I got, the more I had to exercise to get the same effect until I ended up exercising 7 days a week for 6 hours a day. I ended up over exercising and damaged my body so had to stop that made me depressed again. Back to square one...
I agree. I tried that method a few years ago and I got addicted to the high. I wanted to exercise every hour. My body was so sore i had to lay in the bed and then i got depressed all over again😂
Hey, I’ve no real friends where I live either, most of them are living far away. But walking alone or cycling alone is good, it’s in the silence we encounter the Divine anyway.
I’ve had heart surgery, spleen removed and several internal bleeds. Every time I feel like starting doing something, I end up in the hospital. So I don’t exercise or do anything. Just sit and watch tv. Tired of trying. When I’ll end up in the hospital for something wrong with me.
I was exercising, strength training and high energy type stuff but something happened to me and I feel so lethargic and not motivated:'( Like I'm too depressed to exercise 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔 I hate it. I don't wanna get out of shape 😭
Push yourself anyway. I'm in severe benzo withdrawal an ive been walking 2 hours everyday an running evdfyothr day sn weight lifting. You think I feel like doing all that? I feel like I'm gonna have seizure the entire time I'm doing it. I never thought I was capable of pushing myself this hard, but its that or rot away an die. BE A WARRIOR!
Ha no. I workout everyday. But I have major depression. Sometimes a workout is the only thing that stops me ending everything. It sounds weird but it's true. But no exercise cannot cure everyone's depression, and not everyone will feel more motivated 🙄
You go bust your butt 3 or 4x a week and then assess how you feel after each week of working, it helps with everything! Far better than alcohol or just sitting down and being immobile with your mind running rampant.
Try exercises that you like then. For me I like fighting and so I try orient myself to do exercises related to combat/self-defense/boxing. I do recognising running as a self-defense tactic, instead of Kung fu I call running Run fu.
The human body is not designed to just be indoors sitting down living a sedentary life we're meant to be outside socializing enjoying nature sunlight and such. Using antidepressant medications and all these other drugs to lift us from this bad State of mind. Remedy best remedy is exercise weightlifting aerobic exercise anything that gets the heart running
Bullshit! Your depresision will only get worse by lying in bed and not moving! Go out and get fresh air and run every second day in 3 months get your puls up! And then come back and tell if your depression didnt improve - and if you keep the routine and make is as a lifestyle - your depression cannot survive in the long time. Iv tried it myself with depression and many i know too! People saying excerise wont help depression thats what their brains want them to know and feel. Do it every day regulary for 3 months and end it with a cold shower too. Slap me if ya depression is not improving or u feeling better
It hurts so much to be alive, why, why, why. Im here still after asking not to be. All this pain just keeps haunting me. The life i live is not myown. I make others rich but have no throne. Ive got nothing to speak of. Life just keeps piling up more strife. Im at the point right now. Nevermind. I feel only sadness, covering me in a cloak of madness. What they see of me now, is only what i choose to show. I hide inside, i sometimes wonder if the real me died. Its been so long, come back, please. I beg myself to show im still here. Only to hear the calased one reply. The part i tryed to hide behind, has taken over, only to prove that the true me died. I cant run nor hide. Im just somewhere in here, somewhere inside. I want to come out. But know i cant. Not until this torture ends. So i hide inside, hiding behind this veneer ive formed on the outside. Maube im still somwhere in here. Waiting for my chance. Until then i just cant. So i stride along with this shell. Pretending that everything is well.
Pisses me off these kind of videos 🤣so many negative comments knowing full well the type of people who read them are people who have come to CZcams to see what can improve their mental health just to get nasty people in comments saying don’t do it it’s a waste of time it doesn’t work this that no it’s not worked coz you’ve not let it worked you’ve gone to gym once or you’ve ran to end and street and back 2 nights in a row and just gave up that’s why it didn’t work people just give up straight away. No one said it was going to be easy course but fuck me I hate to be horrible but it’s so frustrating seeing people desperate to put others down on a video that’s trying to help people. Praying to all those who are struggling and reading this You can Infact you will overcome this and exercise does help. There’s living proof
Yeah I agree. People gotta give it atlesst 3 months or more of exorsize . They just throw in the towel. The problem I've seen is that people want a quick fix. But the quick fix always ends up badly.
Fuck you. I go to gym twice every week, for a year or more by now, still can’t see any progress with my mental health. You all treat gym as some magical place, that fixes your problems and anybody who says otherwise either does not work out or does not do well enough. Well guess what, gym can be a temporary distraction AT BEST. It does not help with depression, does not fix your mental problems. And if you say that it did, then you never had any problems in the first place.
I guarantee you that 10 minutes a day of workout can really improve your depression…… “ 10 minutes a day “ can u do it ? Put it on ur mobile timer …. U slowly can increase it .. one month. Challenge “ 10 minutes a day “.
@@OnAllahwedependalwaysso you’re saying that the original commenter just goes to gym 5 days a week and sits there, doing nothing? It doesn’t matter how many times you go to gym, it doesn’t matter how intense your workout is. It doesn’t help with mental problems. Might only be a temporary distraction at best.
Too bad this is a fact. Preaching it is one thing, putting it to practice is another. The cyclist here seems to be living in a "well-off" neighborhood (unless CNN is upselling this form of lifestyle). There are other place in the world, where crime is so bad and income is low. People are trapped in apartments, afraid to go out, probably from getting mugged for their bikes, or too poor to buy one. There are more 'root' causes to depression that should be addressed. Things like exercise (which is healthy and should be done regardless, but) only attacks symptoms.
what is stopping someone from a poor neighborhood from going to a rich neighborhood or a nice park to jog? nothing but a car or bus ride away. i dont buy that excuse at all.
sydandtaytum it's not the exercise that cures depression it's the mindset that's important. when you're poor and see no way out of it, you fall into despair. when i was working minimum wage job, i felt like a slave whose sole purpose in life was to earn money so i could pay rent. when that's your reality, it's hard not to fall into depression.
***** i can see how barely scraping by would be stressful and depressing, but that attitude (that only poor people get depression) is harmful. i didn't worry about paying my bills yet i still had a hard time getting out of bed in the morning, felt lonely all the time, disconnected from the world. ignorant people would say "what do YOU have to be depressed about?" or "why don't you just cheer up?" and that is really not helpful. depression can be triggered by outside factors, but for the most part, people stay depressed because of pre-existing genetic factors and/or brain chemical imbalances.
Your response is both ridiculous and non-germane. For the shut-ins that you describe (statistics please?) there are aerobics and weight lifting exercises that can be performed inside the domicile. CNN attempting to advertise a lifestyle? Get a life; and focus your energies on creating exercise programs for those with less cash, spare time or access than others.
Something that can also erase depression is telling people to grow balls. People are becoming sensitive these days. I blame sensitivity and entitlement on depression.
oh my god it’s literally a chemical imbalance in the brain. it doesn’t just happen because you’re bummed. sometimes events can trigger it (significant deaths, traumatic events, abusive upbringing) but that’s because you’re already more susceptible to it in the first place. this has nothing to do with how strong a person is and has everything to do with how an individual’s brain produces and transmits chemicals.

Excerise may well be a good 'distraction' for some... But, individually we find solice in different distrations. Excercise doesn't combat depression for everyone. Who is anyone to tell other people what will help them. So, don't make people feel anymore alienated than they have to, I'm sure many have tried excerise and it doesn't work for them. People who suffer with depression don't need to be told they're failing at anything else.
You're supposed to watch what you eat too like fried food, sugar food/sugar period, food with artificial coloring, packaged artificial food.
I understand your frustration with this, but as someone who has suffered from depression for years and still suffers from depression, exercise does help. No it won’t cure depression, and that’s also not implied, but it does help you feel more productive.
Any exercise is good for you but in my case it didn't help or at least it might have delayed the episodes until I could no longer work up the will to get on my bike.
Very true. I swim up to 2 hours five days a week, and weightlifting for about an hour each day as well. And I still have severe depression.
Damien J i was depressed. i began to exercise. i rememer that i even cried during exercise. i still hate it. but i’m feeling better. i think it works but it’s very hard
good research ! i like it . pretty useful !
Exercise seems to work, I’d also say a relationship with God and a good prayer life helps, it gives consolation.
Exercise helps me just while I'm doing it but then when I'm home I'm back to normal
GABGaming this is exactly what happens to me.
Fit Uber yeah its loneliness is the problem, for me anyways so that's something that can't just be shut off with exercise
I totally Agree.
Depression at its very worst is terrifying. Feeling that low that you feel you must check out of life. And you can see the depression happening to you. It’s unbelievably horrible, it scares me
They say that God speaks to us through ppl, I think I have just been spoken to. I will try this , everything depends on it
Exercise does help me to some degree with depression, talking with someone and just saying I feel like ending my life requires some openness and reaching out, the song by U2 called stuck in a moment is really good,
I just do 3 sets of 10 reps with my 30lbs dumbells and my mind clears up
I exercised to help with depression. After a while and the fitter I got, the more I had to exercise to get the same effect until I ended up exercising 7 days a week for 6 hours a day. I ended up over exercising and damaged my body so had to stop that made me depressed again. Back to square one...
I agree. I tried that method a few years ago and I got addicted to the high. I wanted to exercise every hour. My body was so sore i had to lay in the bed and then i got depressed all over again😂
You can add 400m fast runs to your long runs so you don’t go backwards. Or 800m fast runs. And Lee doing it faster.
I did the same thing but I added 400m fast paced runs and sprinting to the mix to keep me aiming higher. So I don’t go backwards
@@GHBC21 I agree.. positive thinking + healthy eating + exercise + showing gratitude and writing about every little blessing we have in our lives..
I don’t have any motivation to do anything specially because I don’t have any friends to exercise or do activities with.
Hey, I’ve no real friends where I live either, most of them are living far away. But walking alone or cycling alone is good, it’s in the silence we encounter the Divine anyway.
thanks for sharing
I’ve had heart surgery, spleen removed and several internal bleeds. Every time I feel like starting doing something, I end up in the hospital. So I don’t exercise or do anything. Just sit and watch tv. Tired of trying. When I’ll end up in the hospital for something wrong with me.
I don’t take exercise seriously, but I think I’m going to now.
I don't exercise because I'm depressed
You can do it!!
Maybe you are also depressed because you dont exercise ?
If i dint exorsize i get really depressed. Its like im addicted to it.
Be carful of getting addicted to exercise, to cope with depression.
Yassel Alvarez how else should one cope if heavily depressed?
Trevor LeFiles 😂😂?
Being addicted to exorsize is a blessing.
I was exercising, strength training and high energy type stuff but something happened to me and I feel so lethargic and not motivated:'(
Like I'm too depressed to exercise 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔 I hate it. I don't wanna get out of shape 😭
Push yourself anyway. I'm in severe benzo withdrawal an ive been walking 2 hours everyday an running evdfyothr day sn weight lifting. You think I feel like doing all that? I feel like I'm gonna have seizure the entire time I'm doing it. I never thought I was capable of pushing myself this hard, but its that or rot away an die. BE A WARRIOR!
Ha no. I workout everyday. But I have major depression. Sometimes a workout is the only thing that stops me ending everything. It sounds weird but it's true. But no exercise cannot cure everyone's depression, and not everyone will feel more motivated 🙄
Meditation for 1 hour daily.. like my view after one month deep breathing exercise
Nobody has ever said exercise cures depression or anxiety just improves
To add, look for other means to excel your work sheet .
Glad he is better
I always feel tired and depressed the day after exercise. I think it is due to the mood shifting drugs while exercising and suddenly stop it.
Exercise 💪 is great 👍
You go bust your butt 3 or 4x a week and then assess how you feel after each week of working, it helps with everything! Far better than alcohol or just sitting down and being immobile with your mind running rampant.
So apparently regular exercise is really good for a lot of things. But I don't enjoy it. Even when I was exercising regularly I never enjoyed it.
*What kind of exercise do you do? Try cycling.*
Try exercises that you like then. For me I like fighting and so I try orient myself to do exercises related to combat/self-defense/boxing.
I do recognising running as a self-defense tactic, instead of Kung fu I call running Run fu.
I hate working out. But I just do it sn get over with an the results I love.
I find it hard to belive getting a bit healtier can fix your existencial crisis and hating the town you live in for being depressing

The human body is not designed to just be indoors sitting down living a sedentary life we're meant to be outside socializing enjoying nature sunlight and such. Using antidepressant medications and all these other drugs to lift us from this bad State of mind. Remedy best remedy is exercise weightlifting aerobic exercise anything that gets the heart running
Bullshit! Your depresision will only get worse by lying in bed and not moving! Go out and get fresh air and run every second day in 3 months get your puls up! And then come back and tell if your depression didnt improve - and if you keep the routine and make is as a lifestyle - your depression cannot survive in the long time. Iv tried it myself with depression and many i know too!
People saying excerise wont help depression thats what their brains want them to know and feel. Do it every day regulary for 3 months and end it with a cold shower too. Slap me if ya depression is not improving or u feeling better
Will give thus a try ...thanks
Thanks, I will give this a try.
This is really true ...This surely will help me...I will surely do this and get out of my negative thoughts and emotions
Yeah true.
Thanks be being brutally honest man… I needed that
I have breathing problems because of my mental suffering I feel my chest and heart on fire life is a true hell
How are you doing now

People on wheelchairs: 😐😐😑Am I joke to you?
I would rather be in a wheelchair then have major depression 🙄
@@alexmegos6424being In a wheelchair would cause major depression.
Badminton cured my anxiety.
It hurts so much to be alive, why, why, why. Im here still after asking not to be. All this pain just keeps haunting me. The life i live is not myown. I make others rich but have no throne. Ive got nothing to speak of. Life just keeps piling up more strife. Im at the point right now. Nevermind. I feel only sadness, covering me in a cloak of madness. What they see of me now, is only what i choose to show. I hide inside, i sometimes wonder if the real me died. Its been so long, come back, please. I beg myself to show im still here. Only to hear the calased one reply. The part i tryed to hide behind, has taken over, only to prove that the true me died. I cant run nor hide. Im just somewhere in here, somewhere inside. I want to come out. But know i cant. Not until this torture ends. So i hide inside, hiding behind this veneer ive formed on the outside. Maube im still somwhere in here. Waiting for my chance. Until then i just cant. So i stride along with this shell. Pretending that everything is well.
Ur not alone, just try to do exercise and pray always......
How u doing now? I got depressed by just reading this comment lol.
Pisses me off these kind of videos 🤣so many negative comments knowing full well the type of people who read them are people who have come to CZcams to see what can improve their mental health just to get nasty people in comments saying don’t do it it’s a waste of time it doesn’t work this that no it’s not worked coz you’ve not let it worked you’ve gone to gym once or you’ve ran to end and street and back 2 nights in a row and just gave up that’s why it didn’t work people just give up straight away. No one said it was going to be easy course but fuck me I hate to be horrible but it’s so frustrating seeing people desperate to put others down on a video that’s trying to help people.
Praying to all those who are struggling and reading this
You can Infact you will overcome this and exercise does help. There’s living proof
Thank you for that I feel the same😊
Yeah I agree. People gotta give it atlesst 3 months or more of exorsize . They just throw in the towel. The problem I've seen is that people want a quick fix. But the quick fix always ends up badly.
Fuck you. I go to gym twice every week, for a year or more by now, still can’t see any progress with my mental health. You all treat gym as some magical place, that fixes your problems and anybody who says otherwise either does not work out or does not do well enough. Well guess what, gym can be a temporary distraction AT BEST. It does not help with depression, does not fix your mental problems. And if you say that it did, then you never had any problems in the first place.
Ok but what happens when you can’t get out of bed?
Exactly
I'm fat
I think I'm depressed
I am seeing a therapist
I hope to change
I guarantee you that 10 minutes a day of workout can really improve your depression…… “ 10 minutes a day “ can u do it ? Put it on ur mobile timer …. U slowly can increase it .. one month. Challenge “ 10 minutes a day “.
I have depression and been working out 5 days a week for more than 2 years now and I never felt it helped my situation.
Exercise should be intense to feel better
@@OnAllahwedependalwaysso you’re saying that the original commenter just goes to gym 5 days a week and sits there, doing nothing? It doesn’t matter how many times you go to gym, it doesn’t matter how intense your workout is. It doesn’t help with mental problems. Might only be a temporary distraction at best.
I feel trapped by exercise normal kids don’t have to try so hard so why do I? I’m sorry I’m not perfect
Full of reality
But why open gyms now? Obviously restaurants and eating are more important now.
my road bike saved me
Video Volume to low you guys
Too bad this is a fact.
Preaching it is one thing, putting it to practice is another. The cyclist here seems to be living in a "well-off" neighborhood (unless CNN is upselling this form of lifestyle). There are other place in the world, where crime is so bad and income is low. People are trapped in apartments, afraid to go out, probably from getting mugged for their bikes, or too poor to buy one.
There are more 'root' causes to depression that should be addressed. Things like exercise (which is healthy and should be done regardless, but) only attacks symptoms.
what is stopping someone from a poor neighborhood from going to a rich neighborhood or a nice park to jog? nothing but a car or bus ride away. i dont buy that excuse at all.
sydandtaytum it's not the exercise that cures depression it's the mindset that's important. when you're poor and see no way out of it, you fall into despair. when i was working minimum wage job, i felt like a slave whose sole purpose in life was to earn money so i could pay rent. when that's your reality, it's hard not to fall into depression.
***** i can see how barely scraping by would be stressful and depressing, but that attitude (that only poor people get depression) is harmful. i didn't worry about paying my bills yet i still had a hard time getting out of bed in the morning, felt lonely all the time, disconnected from the world. ignorant people would say "what do YOU have to be depressed about?" or "why don't you just cheer up?" and that is really not helpful. depression can be triggered by outside factors, but for the most part, people stay depressed because of pre-existing genetic factors and/or brain chemical imbalances.
Your response is both ridiculous and non-germane. For the shut-ins that you describe (statistics please?) there are aerobics and weight lifting exercises that can be performed inside the domicile. CNN attempting to advertise a lifestyle? Get a life; and focus your energies on creating exercise programs for those with less cash, spare time or access than others.
Well, one can do indoor exercises like beginners yoga or low impact aerobics which doesn't involve jumping so that you won't disturb your neighbours.
Appreciate the blatant obvious facts CNN.

Something that can also erase depression is telling people to grow balls. People are becoming sensitive these days. I blame sensitivity and entitlement on depression.
oh my god it’s literally a chemical imbalance in the brain. it doesn’t just happen because you’re bummed. sometimes events can trigger it (significant deaths, traumatic events, abusive upbringing) but that’s because you’re already more susceptible to it in the first place. this has nothing to do with how strong a person is and has everything to do with how an individual’s brain produces and transmits chemicals.
