Since the hippocampus tends to be smaller or distorted in people with depression, anxiety and schizophrenia, boosting BDNF through exercise may be one way physical activity might help manage these conditions.
If you click the blue word “error”, the link works.
Yes …I Started To Work Out On Trademill … It helps … Thanks…
I love running with an mp3 player. But I have no schizophrenia, only depression/anxiety. Strava, a running/bicycling app, increases one’s mileage because it has “likes” and works as a social network. For the same reason, I find it addictive and sometimes hide my runs there, making them private to get less “likes”.
I like to ride my bicycle in all seasons. It is good for both mental and physical health. It is also one way to see other people.
I exercise daily. It doesn’t help at all – in terms of cognition.
Perhaps, because for 7 years I was addicted to benzos and I am still getting cognitive symptoms despite withdrawal like a year ago.
I miss getting high from running.
Exercises don’t lessen my negatives and cognitive ones, but I feel it helps the rest of the body, it’s really very important
@angledangle @Andres_Britas … I disagree with both of you … It helps with cognition and negative Symptoms But It Doesnt Cure Schizophrenia…
I will start yoga/pilates once I buy a yoga mat.
I will go for daily walks.
