Depression Exercise

Decent Essays
One way that I will go about using this intervention is to teach my client about the importance of Exercising and depression. Exercise can have a major impact on depression and how it can affect your overall mood. When we exercise we release neurotransmitters in the form of serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters helps us feel good and that can help decrease the client’s symptoms of depression. I look at it like the expression if you look good you feel good, so in this case the more you exercise, the better you feel. When a person is depressed they have no motivation to do anything, which is why you have to tackle the depression along with the physical health because they can both have an impact on the client.
