Thanks for watching! Try these exercises for depression.
Walking has saved me emotionally and physically.
Me too. đŁđŁđŁđŁđŁ
Does not touch me.
Me too Kat, same thing ! 11,000 steps today , morning, lunch, afternoon and evening !
@@shizuokaBLUES yessssss, thatâs so awesome! I made a little rule for myself and that was to NOT let the âïž set on my day before I get my 10k steps logged on my FitBit.
I guess one day something just clicked in my head while watching an episode of The Doctors and they had a guest on who said đŁ âThe sidewalk is my treadmill.â
Those simple words changed my life!!!
The guest was this man named Papa Joe Aviance and heâd lost 100lbs with no gym membership and a limited budget. He said heâd put on his headphones with great music, he walked everywhere, sometimes 5 miles a day, and purchased groceries at his local .99 cents. Just shows we really can do anything. Iâve been walking since then and plan to walk forever. đ
You are a spoiler đ
âThereâs a relationship between motion and emotionâ âąïž
That's cause it's 'e-motion'. Electrons move while you are in motion: emotion.
@@SharkFishSF nice!
Good one! I was never more emotionally healthy when I was swimming! đââïž
Yes I think I get the notion.
@@Cooliemasteroz that's a good comprehension.
Walking for an hour around my neighborhood in the morning or in the early evening has been life changing . Try speed walking
Yes, same here, it helps me too. Great advice.
You may have somebody n your neighborhood who gives you positive energy đ
Yes walking is excellent and it does ny even cost a dime :)
I do it every day in the morning, 6km speed walking. Love it!
There's great energy closer to sunrise/sunset. Def the best đ
I'm a disabled vet, some back issues but a lot of mental health stuff. Getting outside is so important. If you just can't do it, walk in place in front of tv. You can do jogging, jumping jacks, foot work like you are skipping rope. All in place. It's something that has worked from me. Still have bad times but I'm still alive so I'm winning today.
Take it easy, brother.
â
Agreed! I am an amputee (BKA) and working out creates a stronger mind for me. Stay safe!
Thank you for serving our country. I am unable to do jumping type stuff but as a result of this teaching I will certainly move more. Thanks for your comment đđđ
I am so impressed by those in this thread who have resiliently adapted exercise in the face of adversity, becoming stronger than many people who never had such challenges. You are truly my heroes. Sending love. â€
I've battled severe depression for a long time. For those who are saying going out for a walk is too much just force yourself to go outside for a while. Sit outside, take a blanket or whatever you want to get comfortable. Sit out there and get fresh air and sun. Just let yourself enjoy existing outside. Find a good spot and just stay outside enjoying sitting or lying outside as long as you can. Remember when you were a kid and just lived half of your life outside playing. Let some of those playful and carefree memories and feelings come back. After getting used to sitting outside every day you'll start to yearn to do more like taking a little walk. You'll realize really quickly that it feels good, a lot better than sitting or lying in your bed. You'll start to crave it just like movement after being cramped up in a bad position for too long. Mentally and physically you'll just start waking up and wanting to go outside more and doing more. Throw back your curtains and air out your room and force yourself to sit there and enjoy the sun and fresh air a while. It's like pulling off a bandaid, do it quick and fast don't let yourself talk your way out of it. Living in a dark, dirty and stuffy room is bad for your mental health. I was so bad I was suicidal for years. Now I get up at the crack of dawn, throw open my curtains and air out my house and force myself outside first thing in morning. I take out trash, do a few little chores, whatever I can find to be busy a while outside. Some mornings this turns into a little walk. It all starts somewhere and when you're very depressed the start sometimes needs to be forced. It won't be easy, force yourself at first. It's like you're drowning and you need to reach for the life preserver. It's not a question of whether you should. You have to. Force yourself to do things that will make you feel better or you'll never improve. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to feel better. You deserve to find happiness and fulfillment in your life. In bed is not where you'll find it. I would like to add that meditation and prayer has also helped me tremendously. I have to still force myself sometimes and always in the beginning it was forced, but afterwards I feel much more grounded, clear and happy. It's not easy but when someone sick needs a specific medication to get better or die they are forced to take the medicine. This is similar. You must see it as that. Your medicine to get better. I know you're not enjoying being depressed. It sucks. Take your medicine.
ThNk you so much for sharing!! Iâm going to do this! đđčđđđȘ
@@marthaduran6010 Never give up on yourself. You deserve to be happy.
Thank you so much for your powerful words! †It's a kick in the butt and I know for sure that it'll help me đâ
True words! I always need to force myself, but without it I would spend my entire life in bed-thanks for sharing!
That's brilliant. Bless your heart for taking the time. x
Never sit and think for too long. Youâll start trying to answer your own questions and often, the self is the worst person to ask for answers. Eat real
Food. Move. Pray. Repeat.
Truth!!! The last person I need emotional advice from âŠ.is me!!! Especially when Iâm down!!! I ask Jesus!! No matter my mood heâs unchanging and consistent!!! Peace !!! đ
@Bok Choy maranatha!!!! đđ
@LawofAttraction how do you take responsibility to urself, when our feelings thoughts and moods are ever changing, are visions are blurred by our emotions and thoughts that are usually selfish. Iâm held accountable by God, heâs unchanging, unlike me!!!
@LawofAttraction thatâs wrong wrong wrong!! U obviously never read Gods word, God has made no mistakes if you read his word u would understand that, molding God into a box that fits ur idea is blasphemy, being your own God is blasphemy. If ur accountable to only urself, u will find ur eternity in an awful place void of anything of God. Jesus came for our salvation, to save us from ourselves and this tainted sinful world!! Hope u relize that and find ur only salvation before itâs too late!! Even Satan knows time is short!!
@LawofAttraction NO, God didnât âlearn a lesionâ if u read the Bible, instead of just trying to disprove it u would understand why he vowed to never flood the earth again, but he didnât learn a lesson!!! Thatâs actually the most ignorant thing I have heard yet!! Good luck doing u
The problem is that depressed ppl barely function with simple daily tasks so running , sprinting and other stuff seems to me like almost impossible for a melancholic or sad head.... Ppl without depression have issues to motivate themselves to exercise so someone who is severely struggling with even getting out of bed will not be able to go out to run , and I'm talking from my own experience when i was suffering from depression.. however thank you for the video...
Me too. I'm gonna sit out in the sun at first. Walk to my neighbours mailbox. If we don't do anything then nothing will change
I'm that way now but I'm crawling out little by little. Baby steps. I'm no where near sprinting or jogging at this point. I've suffered with melancholy and sadness as well. Thanks for your honest comment. People like me need to hear it. I need to set realistic goals đđđ
@Eamon Cohen Very true, but unfortunately many MD's will tell you keto is dangerous.
@@lia-liz2012 I think getting plenty of sun to increase your vitamin D levels will greatly enhance your mood. Good luck on your journey to wellness. Take care! đ
@@pi_beta7306 Keto is dangerous over the long term, but can be beneficial for weight loss over the short term. Remember there are no keto blue zones.
I have found that setting short term goals helps overcome depression.
Big time! Gotta feel those accomplishments đŻ

@@mariselavillasenor715 :thank you, everyone and good luck to you all as well
many years ago my great gramma told me to save looking for cobwebs around the ceiling, for when i feel down. said looking for them would get my mind off the sadness, and looking up would lift my spirits. retired now, but i still think of her and smile every time i check for cobwebs!
I was severely depressed for years. Started running about 60 miles a week for a few months, recovered completely.
Not kidding.
your knees are probably depressed now
@@thomasfischer9259 lol theyâre completely fine.
@beantownn54 At least a decade
@beantownn54 I run, and workout with weights. Both have different and amazing benefits, at least for me. Running brings clarity of mind to me, and the working out seems to give me an overall sense of psychological strength and stability.
@beantownn54 I took meds for like a month once and ditched them, that stuff is no good in my opinion. Too many negative side effects. Exercise really only has positive side effects, unless you get injured obv.
Walking in nature is one of the best remedies for the soul.
Absolutely! This is what I now do. I hike every weekend I can. Nature is amazing
1:07 that guy sure doesn't appear depressed xD
On walking: Leave your phone at home. Don't walk and scroll through social media, and speaking of, try a 3 day fast from facebook, instagram, twitter, etc. That alone does wonders for the mood.
Dr. Berg, I have learned so much from you in the last couple of years! I am even practicing IF and feel a lot better. I have coped with depression for over forty years and may I also suggest gardening as a help with this? The sun on your back and the wind in your hair are a wonderful mood lifter!
Wow,that resonates perfectly with me.taking a step ahead being close to nature is what makes your resilient side come to forefront
I wish I had a yard.
Bird watching has been a great boost to me. Not exactly exercising, I know, but being in nature is certainly vital to everyone's mental health!
I love the âsun on your back, wind in your hairâ. đȘđ»â€ïž
@@zelenplav1701 hahaha,stretching exercise sans ac and fan are not bad
I struggle with depression seems like forever, what I do is blast disco n dance..works everytime.

Have you seen Dr Berg Niacin videos. It cured me almost instantly
@@xSpiritAWx no I haven't but I'll check it out. Thank you!

I swear dancing & being silly help..
Going out into nature and being around the plants and animals instantly puts me in a calm mood.
Live n let live!love nature n it's creation.Don,t kill n try not to be killed!
One. That sounds more like the blues, not real depression.
I appreciate you Dr berg I'm a person that is paralyzed and I struggle with not being able to move and your videos have helped me out with fasting I am overweight and I need to lose weight but seeing that I can't walk or run fasting has helped me a lot you are the best dr bergđŻđŻđŻđđœ
Best wishes to you. God bless
The problem is, like most people with depressive disorder, during my depression period I donât have the mood to do anything at all. I would lose any interest in anything I used to enjoy and despite my effort to do something I will want to quit as soon as possible.
Been there my friend. I find even in the depths of a depressive episode I can still sometimes muster up the willpower to start running. I think we do ourselves a disservice when we say we can't bring ourselves to do anything. The important thing is to not beat yourself up when you don't take care of yourself, and to take advantage of even the smallest bit of inspiration.
Having active friends helps a lot. My friends are always pressuring me to go out riding with them or play table tennis. As a consequence, I now do at least one long, +10miles, ride a week and play table tennis regularly.
Most importantly donât get addicted to your smartphone. It is a real magnet đ§Č for depression. Speak to real people in person. And definitely ditch Facebook đ
I am so sorry. I hit the thumbs down button by accident! I do understand not having the energy to exercise when in depression. I have been there myself. As others have said, âtake baby steps.â Walk outside your door and sit on the steps if you live in a safe place. Or walk to the mailbox. Then maybe walk a few doors down then go back home. Next time walk a little farther. Eventually you will feel better. Psychotherapy is important, too.
@@lucyburr5516 great đđż information âčïž. Thank you so much for your input.
Now I know why I'm never depressed while those around me keep falling into it. Thanks for the info. I'll share it with them.
I've had depression on and off for 3 decades. I know exercise would help but never valued myself to do it sooner than "tomorrow"... Thanks for putting it in a way I can understand đ
Same
You should start ASAP because it works.
Go receive the Sacraments
HOWEVER if you simply just canât pull yourself together to do all thatâs suggested here, know that itâs ok. Give yourself a time limit of a day or two and donât beat yourself up about it. Rest, cry, talk to a therapist or a friend or a family member. Feel the feels. By day two or three you will be able to go for a walk or a bike ride etc..
Oversimplifying this serious illness.
Get up and out and walk, brisk walking is good for everything there is - have to move. Staying immobile is not good. Unless you have a fever, get up and out.
@@marliesyanke4580
I was on antidepressants for 21 years. I know how it is, believe me.
You can always WALK.
@@KreativeKonnection sometimes when a person is deep in their depression they canât even get out of bed
I suffer from depression, running is my salvation, itâs given me so much. Iâve been running 3 years now and I put in 40km a week. Iâll never give it up, its part of me now until my legs go in old age.
Pls tell me what is thé résults u got After running ?
Walking is the best thing to do. Look at the birdies, the sky, etc. My mum is going to be 99 on June 24th. She walks everyday, even in the winter. She goes up and down the hallways with her wheelie and looks at all the decorated doors. Keep moving. A 93 year old man at my church walks everyday and stays engaged with some sort of activity. Thanks for great upload, you are absolutely right doctor Berg moving keeps the positive endorphins flowingđđšđŠ
Thank you Dr. Berg. I really needed this today. Iâm having an emotional breakdown and will try just about everything right now to make myself better.
Add nutritional yeast in there.
Look into Wim Hof

I would try anything at the moment too

Have you tried sam-e? Best supplement for depression.
I have been doing IF and keto for a week- Iâve lost 8 lbs!! I lost over 100 lbs doing keto 7 years ago and kept it off for 5 years and broke my foot pretty bad requiring two surgeries and lots of hardware .. gained about half back⊠but it is going!!
Many people with clinical depression do not feel better by simply exercising. Medication and/or other treatments are often necessary.
but so often people go to Rx and skip exercise. Why not give exercise a try 1st? I read years ago that walking outside does release the same chemicals/hormones that the pills do synthetically, but without the side effects
Tysm. I plan to do something now. I've been depressed for about 6 months now. I hope to listen to your teachings and finally DO something đł. Thanks again for helping me get started. I will let y'all know about my progress when it happens. đđȘđđ
I started walking daily in the area I have lots of trees in and it has helped so much. If I canât one day no issue I go next day. AM sun light is super important too and helps. Good luck you can do itđđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»
Iâve been depressed for 6 years. Nothing every worked and nothing ever will.
Go for it, Liz, and know that there are many of us out here in cyberspace praying for you. Depression is an awful battle, but victory is glorious!
@@SelfImprovement1111 It's not a good feeling, is it?
Been depressed going on 10 years since losing my mother suddenly, so I can empathize with you. It's even difficult to do day-today activities sometimes.
@@SelfImprovement1111 I struggled with depression for about 20 years. I finally began to heal when I decided to forgive. It was a painful journey but It was worth while. I am now have joy peace and hope. I did it all with Godâs help. I hope you turn to him and ask him to forgive you. When we receive forgiveness we are more likely to give it as well. Jesus is love. There is hope. God bless you.
One thing I've found is to use headphones if I have trouble getting outside. Blocking one of the senses can help with overwhelm.
Thanks for this tip. I will give it a go.
Thank you for this
Definitely helps with my anxiety too
Wow thanks for this good tip about the senses! đł
My Doctor told me every time everytime you starting feel depresiĂłn go for a walk and yesterday I was feeling down and today I woke up and I just finished doing spinning bike for 45 minutes and I feel better and motivate đ
Something that helps me is having a daily routine and sticking to it. Also, having a daily goal each day, whether it's a project around the house, outside in the yard, then in the evening relaxation is a reward in the form of reading a book or catching up on a Dr Berg video that I've missedđ... Thanks again Dr Bâș
I do this too but it's nice to hear others doing it as well. I used to set my goals too high. Now I do one thing and sometimes get help with even THAT and I feel so much better. I never thought that depression could have such an impact on my life. It goes along with guilt and regret for me. These teachings really mean so much to me and the people commenting of their situations. Tysm!
@@lia-liz2012 Apart from having a daily routine, realistic goals what else has helped you with depression? How to overcome guilt and regret? What's your advice on that? If you don't mind sharing
@@lia-liz2012 Honey, I'm the queen of guilt and regretđ But you have to realize, is anybody perfect? No! And it shouldn't even be a goal. It's all about the destination. Who needs to move a mountain? That's difficult and tiresome, and will lead to a self defeating attitude. Just chipping away is fine, small accomplishments are just as important. I get a notion, don't overthink things, and start moving like Dr B said. You'd be amazed at what gets done. Ok, I'm done with my Ted Talk, virtual hugsâș
Micro goals are good

Hooked on fasting! So thankful no more depression meds!
Wow really? I refuse drugs because of terrible side effects I've had. Thanks for this comment đđ
Just getting out of bed makes a huge difference, and even though you know factually you'll feel better if you get up, washed and dressed, you can't.
Exactly.
The best doctor!
For anyone through depression,
Times seem tough, but things will get better, have hope and work towards it, And if all you did today was hold yourself together, you're doing great I'm proud!!!

@@REL602 for now it seems like it, but it really will, if you give up hope yourself, then how can you be positive.
There are tough times for everyone, to each their problems are tough, to others they may seem little or unimaginable, but only those who are going through it will know the severity of it, no one could really comprehend their pain. But tests purpose is to make you stronger, wiser, kind and helpful. You just have to see it in a different perspective.

God bless you doctor!!!!
Exercise pulls me out of depression every time. It's the most reliable effective thing I know. I row (sprints and regular), lift, and walk, and then before I know it, I'm feeling better. I've done it my whole life.
As a person who suffers from depression I have one bit of advice, if you're laying on your bed on your phone in a black hole get up! Go for a walk, vacuum the house, go to the store for a snack. Get up and get moving!
Taking action definetly helps with depression. Walking, doing chores, etc. Good advice.
no snacks. snacks increase insulin.
I suffer too, no drugs for ME. I believe that did more harm than good for ME. I feel so much better when I move. I've been clearing out my house of clutter and all kinds of stuff that sometimes goes along with the depression.
@@lia-liz2012 God bless Lia
@@declanjohnson7605 Keto snacks of course â€ïžđ
For the body, resting means rusting!
Thatâs an important proverb I learned long time ago.
I find bicycling helps . Not only the exercise, but being outside and moving fast helps tremendously.
Hiking in nature has been my anti-depression medicine w/ great efficacy. If Iâm feeling a little more upset, then I increase the intensity of the hike (e.g., faster rate and/or high elevation gain)
Great idea!
@@Drberg doc is there really a way someone who is taking meds like clonezapam + anti depressants for few years. Successfully wean off the meds completely. and be drug free..... your advise would be great help

My 80 year old mother has been doing fasting and feeling better. Iâve lost weight on opposite way and now on a week on it , I feel better already. Thank you for information! Medicine and well-being is a constant search ! GOD BLESS YOU
I'm not really sure if doing all of this can heal your depression. I have my fair share of experience in being depressed and this is what I noticed:
- there is a connection between having a healthy lifestyle and depression, I noticed that when I was exercising and eating healthy my depression got much better and it was easier to do daily tasks
- when I was lying around, anxious and depressed, no exercise, not minding what I ate it was very bad.
What helped the most was (and this is still quite a new discovery for me): not even eating healthy per se, but cutting out SUGAR and INTERMITTENT FASTING, cos that way I no longer felt sluggish and tired all the time and actually feeling a little bit better is such a huge achievement for someone who's been waiting for that moment. So, that made me actually want to do things (little things even). Exercising on its own isn't very helpful imo, I always did that and didn't get better, so, for me, the issue was mostly the sugar. But it's not all about YOU but also about your environment. You can do all things well but if you have people around who bring you down, that's a very difficult issue to solve. I think it's also about practice, you have to practice having different thoughts, they won't appear on their own. So, what I used to do was immediately dismiss a negative thought, or when I felt "bad" mood creeping in on me I changed what I was doing to something more dynamic (exercise).
I never took any medicine or anything for depression, just always tried to fix stuff on my own, and in the process, I learnt quite a lot about myself and now I know what my mind and body need when worse times come.
HOWEVER, even in my better days, it never really got away, I was just much better at handling my thoughts and didn't really let them bring me down. That's why my theory is that once you're depressed, you triggered something in your brain that will always be there, you can minimize it, control it, but never completely get rid of it.
Depressed people have such a hard time being motivated though, that even if they truly know what's good and bad for them, what they should do etc. , actually doing it is the hard part, that's why starting small is the best for getting out of that terrible self-destructing routine and if there is a short moment of positivity, it's important to use that opportunity.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR STORY!! I will surely try this!!
Really good advice!đ
Wise and insightful words.
People have committed suicide because of depression. This advice is good if someone has the blues for a couple of day but not for serious depression.
This is so true! Keeping one busy, not just sport wise is a remedy for depression. Lots of bad thinking comes from âlazy mindâ......
move yes, absolutely, i was a long distance runner in high school. high school was an awful experience, when i ran, i escaped, i flowed with myself. i was the boss.
the one criticism i have of this video is that Dr Berg's exercise standards are wayyyy too high for people like me. i wish that he would have the approach toward exercise that while it is absolutely essential for our physical and mental health, that it is also a very individual thing, with each person competing not against anybody else, but rather something done according to one's limited abilities. so for example in my case, i have so many health problems, that for me walking fairly slowly in the park for just a half hour, stopping to rest my bad back several times throughout, does absolute wonders for me. it is good for my body, but even more importantly, it dramatically improves my mood. i bet that walk for me takes more effort than Dr Berg running the marathon. now, maybe one day i can reach Dr Berg's high level of exercise goals, but for me that day may never come, and meanwhile, i do what i can in this regard
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! đđđđđȘđȘđȘđȘ
Definitely just doing the most you can is good. Don't feel bad, everyone is at a different place in fitness. You're probably doing stellar
thank you to the both of you (Martha Duran and Alx123094) for your encouraging words. actually, there was a time when I used to take walks in my local mountains that would last almost three hours straight. and then some years later when i was fully into my adulthood, there was a time when i neither drove nor took public transportation at all, instead walking everywhere I went, even the several miles to and from work each workday. but all that was many decades ago. i have been very overweight my entire adult life, but back then, it wasn't quite as severe as it is these days. let me tell you, carrying around 330 pounds of weight is no easy task. practically with every step i take, i am huffing and puffing, almost gasping for breath. and yet as bad as i feel, it is dramatically worse on those days that i am kept from walking
@@mosescordovero8163 Do the best you can do to stay active, and maybe start looking at the keto diet combined with intermittent fasting, and walk at least 30-60 minutes a day. So many people have changed their lives completely like this, even reversed diabetes. You will start to see results in couple weeks and you will feel better in no time. You can find so many videos here on youtube if you are imterested. Wish you all the best.
Journal more, walk with nature, read, de stimulate, (time away from your phone/ screens ect) eat nutritious foods, (keep carbs low and away from sugars) meditate, stretch/yoga, daily affirmations, exercise and be in the present moment, don't take life so seriously, laugh, smile, have fun and enjoy the simple things that life has to offer đ
I NEED THIS! depression is eating me alive. Constantly thinking that I'm fine but I know I'm not fine đ years and years I have trouble sleep, drawing my self out from my friends
You might benefit from taking sam-e, you can find it on Amazon.
Being thankful for all the Most High has done for you, on behalf of you, or for all He has blessed you with cures "depression".
36h fasting removed my bad mood instantly
I gotta hand it to my mother. After she was left with 5 kids when my father died she would run around the block at 2:00 a.m. or any other time of day or night.
In some Ayurveda they say the most powerful thing you can do is walk and they suggest you do it for 30 minutes a day 2x a Dayan yoga 10 minutes 2x a day. It is all very simple but as a person who experiences depressed moods itâs way easier said than done. I have chronic pain and chronic fatigue which makes movement not feel worth it no matter what I tell myself. So, I use walking my dogs as my reason to move around. Itâs not high intensity but itâs something and being out in the sun does slot of lift the spirit. So my suggestion is that even if walking for exercise doesnât feel worth it..just get a chair in the sun and lay on it and see what it does for your mood and remember thatâs something too
I miss doing aerobics. đI use to be addicted to it. I love the coordination, music & being in a rooM w/ like minds. The connection was awesome! â„ïž
I suffer from depression and take sertraline for it. What I can say is that when I'm depressed I would be so weak that even walking would become difficult, let alone running etc.
This advice is for blues, not for serious depression.
Going out helping someone else takes the focus off you and over to them and is very rewarding.
And get a pet if you don't have one
I developed a host of autoimmune illnesses a little over 10 years ago, along with depression, anxiety, and ptsd/c-ptsd following multiple traumas. I eventually ended up having to leave a good job where I was working 12 highly physical hours a night. I started raising chickens and turkeys. My flock grew fairly large. Every morning it takes about 2 hours to care for them, and about 1 hour in the evening, with occasional welfare checks during the day. I honestly believe that the physical activity and the connection I have with these birds has saved my life, in regards to both physical and mental health, even though my husband greatly resents the time and commitment I devote to them. Now, I'm doing many other things (weaning from many medications, using the tools on this channel, etc) to restore my health and seeing great results. Thank you for all the great info, Dr. Berg.
Glad to hear that you are feeling better now. Be well!
Hi Dr Eric Berg. Started following you last week. It's been a revelation. From the UK. Stuck in lockdown for existing conditions. I started a 'partial' keto diet this week. I had my annual diabetic review 2 weeks ago. Hb number 46. Stopped metformin 2 yrs ago. Weight was 20st, 6 Lbs at review. Have lost 7Lbs since last week following your videos. Kale, cucumber, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, avocado and other low carb foods. Dead easy to follow and I enjoy the preparation. Feel a lot more fresh after 5 days. And it doesn't break the budget. Probably cheaper. Best thing ever thanks.
This is all great...except what about those of us ho have severe pain and cannot do physically activity bc of limited mobility.
I loved this and it is so true. Depression wants you to stay still so it can do its work. Movement will not let it. Every fiber of my being tells me to lie down, pull the covers over my head, and just stay in bed when Iâm depressed. Itâs an illusion, and you need to logically know otherwise. SAVING THIS VIDEO!
Sprinting ABSOLUTELY works, practicing more of them for the past year and it's the most real self present feeling each time - almost psychedelic
So, about 8 years ago I discovered the emotional power of walking fast / running. It just makes you feel alive, and well. It breaks the horrible emotional vortex. Here in London, England, our grey and cold winters are very long. Running makes it all " right " again.
I am mid-aged and I owe it to myself to run & enjoy my new life.
Makes sense. Used to play football at least a couple of hours thrice a week, had never known depression. It happened when i started working & stopped playing.
I've learned balance or I can't do it. I wish I would have done this when I was working. Work, but make time even during the work day to have snibbets of fun.
My body feel fresher n better after workout but mentally it does not help much, sometimes I even feel irritated after exercise...but doing activities outdoor like walking on the beach does help my mood tho
Same my brain says why tf u moving in a heatwave đ
Same work out does not help my depression as much but I too like you find that being around body of water helps my mood too.
Hi Dr Berg, fasting and your videos have been life changing for me. Iâve got rid of my diabetes Type II and I still suffer from depression and anxiety but Iâm off my medication and I love your comments about sprinting. I didnât exercise yesterday for one day and now I feel Iâll never be able to exercise ever again. Iâm going to try and get out of the door for some sprinting. Have an eaten bread rice or pasta for a year. Got my next blood tests coming up this week. Iâm in the best shape of my life and Iâm 53. Thank you for all your great work best wishes, Dominc Cotton from London
Wonderful! Keep up the good work!
I went through stress & depression many times, due to the lost of my parents, my sibling, because of old age, sickness and accident. I was let go from work because I was considered old, even tough I was a star performer in the company, but the boss decided to replace me with somebody young, because they are cheap. Fast forward, exercise & meditation are my saviour. I channel my frustrations through dispensing negative energy, making myself physically exhausted while doing high intensity exercise. My meditation is usually at night before sleep.
Thank you, Dr Berg. I am grateful for your video đ
Danceđ try David Bowie âLetâs Danceâ the Black Crowes âHard to Handleâ. Playing a percussion instrument or any instrument is therapeutic as well. If you are not able because of disability try hand weights and arm exercises with fire breathing which is a yoga technique. Stray slow by stretching If you are not yet ready for movement.
This â!! And those are both great tunes. I would also add Earth Wind and Fire's Lets Groove Tonight.
When you have a really bad relationship and feel stuck you feel better when you go out and take long walks. You need to try to think about good things instead of the bad though when walking, that can be tricky at times. Listening to good music while moving is great for mood!
Completely agree with you, I try the long walks and they are physically good help, but mentally, the remuneration of the negative experiences with people, is what I have hard time with.
@@rsrs6959 Yeah, it's problematic when the mind loops the issues you are stuck in. I've felt that I can counter it by interacting with new people but that's very hard in corona times so that sucks. Will be better when corona has been terminated I think.
@@coolie4u I think if someone has a friend who they are close to and enjoy the company of then interacting with that friend or friends help. Getting to meet new people is tough during these times but earlier too it was tough for me, as I found that after a certain age getting to meet and connect with new people is not as easy anymore. Also, the people here, the city I live in are not really friendly, but in the suburbs, the towns, the people there are nicer.
I have had bouts of anxiety all of my life. Anxiety is exhausting. Hormones have made it worse, especially after the birth of my two children. Peri-menopause was the most difficult 8 years of my life. Doctors prescribed anti-depressants. They never helped with anxiety at all. I didnât cry all the time but I didnât laugh either. I decided to slowly get off of them and started exercising. AMAZING results! I started doing a running app...and was surprised at what my body could do! It was so motivating to set goals and for the last 13 years I have been in at least 6 5K runs. I do a variety of aerobics when I am not running. I change it up and I try to work in walking through the day. I still have anxiety from time to time but exercise is absolutely the best remedy. Cutting out sugar helps a great deal. Exercise is the best drug for mental health! And it helps you sleep!
Dear Mr.Berg, i have no depression but sugar withdrawal symptoms and it looks like the symptoms are still here after 7 days,but i will not surrender
I feel energetic and happy when cycling or swiming in the rain, Don't know why.I m an Indian,66 yrs .
Standin in the rain and listening to music issss soo fun i would die if it rains outside cuz the weathers been at 49 celcius for days eff u god lmao
I think it's the affect of nature- rain and the smell of rain has been said to have positive and therapeutic affect.
What about those of us who are disabled? When simply walking for periods of time are exhausting and difficult because of a physical debilitating injury?
After the Christmas feasting, my weight reached a number I never I never want to see again. I cut out the sugar and white flour products. I found a CZcams video channel that was perfect for my senior citizen body. I got out twice a day to walk my dog. I got into fasting about a month ago. My weight is down 25 lbs. with 5 more lbs. to go. My spirits are high. I love the 18 hr. daily fast schedule. I am so grateful for Dr. Berg and the information on his channel. The quality of my life is through the roof. Thank You, Dr. Berg
Fasting prolonged period of time helped me to come off my antidepressants.
Pls tell me how long u fasted for how many hours a day ?
I'm going to flip your list and put walking at the top of your list, because walking may be the only exercise you are capable of doing in deep depression (and, of course, obesity). Walking requires less motivation to get you started. Walking gets you out in the sun, takes you to a different environment, can be done in safe and beautiful places. As you are walking your pace increases gradually without thought. Walk back home and by the time you get there you are feeling better physically and your mood is lifted. Working out at home is not going to do that for you. I'm not saying you are wrong (you are wrong), it's just my point of view (I'm right. I'm always right. Thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken).
Woooohoooo!!! You go Christine!!! I love your attitude!! đđđđđđȘđȘ
@@marthaduran6010 Thank you!
Certainly makes sense, sometimes I feel like if I ran I'd just keep going and going.
Dr being with you is a relief from Depression Doc your voice is soothing
I have learned so much from you
Hello! Just started IF one week ago! 1 and 5pm. Larger meal at 5. Sleeping better going to bed, no TV. Resting. Laughing w hubby before sleeping. Going for 25-48 fast next week. Goal is too crease to 7 day fast!
I make myself to lift weights especially when I am depressed and also take it as an opportunity to release my pent up frustrations developed from my highly stress work place. Always feel better after that. So I totally agree with this.
Great tip about the weight lifting, thanks!
Never clicked so fast thank you
In December of 2020 I started walking to help me with my anxiety and depression. It wasnât about losing weight at all. We were still in lockdown and I live in a rough neighborhood so I just started walking a mile a day inside my house with CZcams videos. Now I average five miles a day walking and jogging, with most of it being done outside in the sun and it feels great. I still battle depression and anxiety but itâs nowhere near as bad as it used to be. I also lost twenty pounds and started a weight loss/ weight lifting journey that I had never anticipated at 40 years old. I think Iâm going to add some sprinting and see how it goes! Thank you for this video and all of your amazing content.
I'm really depressed and it's so difficult to want to move and get out of bed. Please do more on mental health.
This is great advice to help with depression but itâs also important to realize you canât just exercise your way out of depression. Of course, it will help but this video doesnât even address the neurological portion of it that canât be fixed by just exercising
I have severe fibromyalgia so even after an errand to get groceries Iâm in pain and need a nap.
You saved my life đđ I was suffering from severe acne for 2 years due to pcos . Gone through depression , isolating myself feeling unworthy . Thank God I found you and watched almost all your videos and it's been two months now I see a major difference . I feel happy now and still on my Journey . Thank you so much . I can't imagine my life without you đđ
My life has changed for the better once I discovered your channel. Watching your videos I learned something new about myself every time. Fasting, better sleeping and proper healthy eating balance my life and push me forward. We are blessed to have you, Dr Berg, keep educating us and awakening our physical and mental self-awareness. đ
This is overly simplistic. Walking does help. Others in comments said to have a routine and do something around the house. Easier said than done. When I was depressed I couldn't get myself to check the mail, let alone answer the bills in it. I couldn't take the trash to the curb, let alone clean the house. Once you can get yourself to do anything, sure a walk is nice. But many need help with the step before that.
No, thank you for saying this. I agree, too simplistic. Good advice for occasional blues but not for serious depression.
To simplify this is to not understand... best of luck
before arriving at that point there are so many signs of milder depression; we should check that avoiding to escalate.. Hence at first signs, move.. In space clearing theory cleaning the house, drawers, removing old staff clean the mind and fights depression. Mind programming has techniques like laughing, smiling, saying outloud "I'm happy, everything is great!" because the mind being stupind can be tricked like that, of course when you^'re sad, depressed or devastated it's not easy to say that, to smile or laugh but because of a judgement the mind impose us .. forcing that the results are immediate.
I don't think most of the people commenting have manic-depression or are really bi-polar, I exercise, the relief is temporary for about an hour afterwards, then the same old feelings come back...If I didn't need food, I could easily avoid people for weeks on end...I even considered disconnecting my phone...these people have mild anxiety or something else!
@@sherp2u1 Yes i agree, too ssd's simplistic. Its a disservice to the people who we lost from depression, they suffered and saw no way out.
Walking with a dog, or several dog's is therapeutic.
Dr. Berg is a blessing to our health.
And help somebody! There are so many people who truly need help - It takes my mind off of me and gives me joy!â€
Sunlight and STOP watching the news and TV works for me.
This is good for mild to moderate depression but if you're clinically depressed you need more than going for a walk.
- no sh$t. Everyone, including Dr. Berg are well aware of that. If a "clinically depressed" person doesn't move their body they will move into a vegetative state.
Chris Lim and Everyone- the title is "best excercise for depression" He did not say it is the magic cure that will make the unicorns take depression away forever. People that want to argue mild...clinical...etc are annoying. If your heart is still beating and you have "clinical depression" excercise is still beneficial.
Too many Karen's. đ
@@dontbelieveeverythingyouhe5599
People that want to argue between mild to clinical depression are annoying?
The difference and treatment is significantly different. It's sort of an important distinction.
That's it's annoying to you frankly is irrelevant.
Depression is a serious life impacting condition that isn't magically "lifted by going for a sprint"
Glad you find all this funny.
Your videos have helped me Dr. Berg. How would I have known I have a fatty liver if it was not for your videos? The girl who cleans the apartment here just told me my stomach is smaller. Thank you.
Walking and running with intermittent fasting improved my entire well being a lot. Thanks Dr Berg
Dr: Try to be depressed if you are exercising. Virtually impossible
Me: cries while riding stationary bike
Dr: apparently your not riding fast enough.
Alright, I'll keep that in mind lol
đ€Łđ€Łđ€ŁCute
Singing and being depressed is also hard
As well as exercise, start looking at your life, what do you want to change? Take some action, if you can, to change things for the better. Little things go a long way and help to move you forward, sometimes the people close to you are the problem or causing problems and you don't realise. Buy a nice smelling fruity shower gel, a different one for each day...just little changes like this can make a difference. Do Keto too, of course! Good luck for a happier life Hannah - also research the difference between pleasure and happiness.
Rowing machines are good for those who can't handle the impact of running
Last Christmas I bought a rebounder and I have been jumping on that one every day since. I do it several times a day too and sometimes with music that stimulates me and sometimes just to meditate and sometimes when I am listening to an e-book or even when I am talking on the phone for a long time with my friend but then I just swing up and down slowly so my breath is completely normal. I feel easily restless so I take long walks to be able to stay outside for several hours. Also I sometimes bring a little picnic with me with coffee in a thermos and a good book. But the rebounder is such a good compliment. And anywhere I read about it they say itâs makes the whole bodyâs muscles and the lymph system work optimal. Can recommend!! Makes you even sing with the music even though life is challenging now! Ashwaganda and fasting takes the rest of the depressed emotions away. Iâve have been fasting every year for a week or little bit longer.
Like I already wrote above -for the body resting is rusting I have learnt that proverb long time ago and I appreciate knowing it and have found itâs even working for good emotions! Iâm 68 years and staying away from medical care so no medicines but following advice from Dr Berg on supplements. He is đ Thankful!
Makes sense when I hear people say they used exercise to deal with depression. Completely makes sense now... đ€©
Thank you, Dr. Berg, I have been telling a friend who struggles with depression that he NEEDS exercise. Iâm sending him this video. I tell him do whatever youâre capable of doing. Even a little is better than nothing at all.
