Do You All Know You Can Counter Your Depression With EXERCISE?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­
Bryan, TX

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), getting regular physical activity can make you less likely to develop depression. Exercising three to five times weekly for 30 to 60 minutes can provide mental health benefits because exercise is a good way to get "out of your head" and focus on moment-to-moment sensations, such as your breathing and movements?
