Benefits of exercise therapy during depression and anxiety

The state of depression can be considered as a low state of energy, in which a depressed person experiences lots of anxiety. This state of anxiety leads to panic attacks. If a person fails to control his/her feelings it may lead to a state of depression. A depressed person often shows symptoms of despair, anger and hopelessness. A person suffering from depression remains anxious or has anxiety disorders. S/he remains fearful and has to counter panic attacks. If this condition is not treated well in time, it could lower a person's ability to maintain relations and working capabilities. Both these disorders of anxiety and depression are treated with anti-depressant medications.

There is no clue available as to why different type of depressions is always accompanied by anxiety. But every problem has a solution. In a recent clinical study by Jasper Smits, Director of the Anxiety Research and Treatment Program at Southern Methodist University in Dallas revealed that regular exercise have shown tremendous benefits for mental health.

The full benefits of exercise therapy can be achieved by a patient if the therapist is fully trained. The research was carried out by Smits and Michael Otto, Psychology Professor based at Boston University. Their research was based on various analyses of population based studies as well as clinical and meta-analytic reviews. The traditional treatment of cognitive therapy has some limitations as they are not accessible to every person who requires them. Exercise helps them to remain focused and engaged in their activities.

These findings are based on the recent Conference of the Anxiety Disorder Association of America. The workshop was based on the therapist guide "Exercise for Mood and Anxiety Disorders" (Oxford University Press, September 2009). Those individuals who often exercise report fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression. Patients suffered with anxiety disorders are treated naturally through exercise as it helps them to control fear and other bodily sensations like heart beating and rapid breathing. Till date 40 percent of Americans have sedentary habit, but participating in regular exercising session could help getting some immediate benefits.
