From an article found on MSN.com. "7 Ways to Combat Health Problems with Exercise"
5 of 7:
Depressed? Get Moving
Feeling down? Join a class or go for a run. "Mild exercise is effective to a certain extent against virtually any form of depression," says Dr. Ali. "But more intense movement and exercise can be carried out if you've been working out consistently for a long period of time. Being around other people can help lift your mood as well, especially if loneliness brings on depression." (What are the symptoms of depression?)
Join an exercise class or a running or walking club. You'll combine the physical benefits of exercise with the psychological lift of social interaction. Or go for a long run. Runners often report a euphoric state called a "runner's high" after running long distances [2]. "Cardiovascular exercise is most likely to release the feel-good neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) and trigger a 'high,'" says Geier.
