Exercise as a First Line Treatment for Depression, Anxiety and Stress


Listen Later

An interview with Dr. Carol Maher,  Professor of Population and Digital Health at University of South Australia.

So it's really interesting that the leading U.S. clinical guidelines for managing depression and anxiety consider exercise as an alternative treatment. Because that really implies that there's not evidence behind it or that it sort of isn't congruent with mainstream medicine. And neither of those things is true.  Exercise is very well accepted by mainstream medicine as holding real physical and mental health benefits.
