Lifestyle Changes
Exercise and Other Healthy Behaviors
Exercise. Both aerobic exercise and resistance training can help provide some improvement in mood symptoms for patients with depression.. Aerobic workouts can raise chemicals in the brain, such as endorphins, adrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine that produce the so-called runner's high. Yoga practice, which involves rhythmic stretching movements and breathing, may help improve and stabilize mood. Meditation may also be helpful.
