There are many scientific studies that show how physical activity has a very effective antidepressant effect, to the point that it can be considered a real antidepressant drug. This action is very evident in "neurotic" depressions from which none of us is completely free. For psychotic depressions, things change, as these are very serious diseases for which the work of the specialist is needed.
So let's go back to our topic: physical activity acts as an antidepressant, strengthens self-esteem, relaxes and eliminates the effects of stress: it is the best antidote for psychosomatic diseases.
