Depression is hard to deal with. You feel tired, unmotivated, and likely have negative thoughts about yourself and life often. This article https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326036.php found that exercise can help to alleviate depressive symptoms.You may not feel excited, much less motivated to get exercise when you're feeling down, but it will make you feel better afterward. Studies found that exercise can help both those trying to prevent depressive symptoms like those that deal with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and others that are already diagnosed with Depression. If you're having trouble with finding a way to incorporate exercise, consider just a quick walk around the neighborhood, a gym session with a friend, or even yoga in the comfort of your home.
