New research provides a comprehensive comparison of antidepressant medications to an all-natural alternative, finding equal effectiveness and better side effects.
New research compares people who received 16 weeks of an antidepressant to 16 weeks of running therapy.Side effects of running generally led to improved health, such as by increasing heart rate variability.
The top line result is that running was just as effective as antidepressants in reducing depression. At the end of the study, 45% of the patients in the antidepressant group and 43% of patients in the running group no longer met criteria for depression or anxiety. Yes, the surprise treatment is going jogging regularly.There were also indications that the running group had some health benefits that antidepressants didn’t.
If our priority is actually reducing the number of depressed people in the world, this is a big impediment. We can find that running is really helpful if people participate in long exercise sessions frequently, but for some that can be daunting. The people in this study were specifically chosen for inclusion because they only exercised one day a week . That probably means they have difficulty finding the time in their lives, or that they struggle finding the energy andto exercise.
