Research shows a hobby could reduce the risk of developing depression and help those who suffer from a bout of it to recover faster. FMTNews FMTLifestyle
LONDON: New UK research has found that taking up a hobby could reduce the risk of developing depression and help those who suffer from a period of depression recover.
At the start of the study, 71.9% of the participants reported having a hobby or pastime, while 15.6% were above the threshold for depression. Moreover, the findings were found to be consistent among those who were suffering from depression at the start of the study as well as those who were depression-free.
For those who had depression and no hobby, taking one up was linked with an improvement in depressive symptoms and 272% higher chance of recovering from that depression.
