"It's actually when it comes to to depression and anxiety, mood disorders, it has been found that even as little as 150 minutes of activity per week can relieve symptoms to about 40 to 60% 42 to 60%. While as compared to psychotherapy and pharmaceuticals, the numbers are uh 20% to 30% in relief of symptoms."
Trainer Senada Greca tells Jay Shetty that research she has seen suggests 150 minutes of weekly physical activity can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety by “42 to 60%”, and compares that with “20% to 30%” symptom relief from psychotherapy and pharmaceuticals. She stresses she is not advising people to avoid therapy or medication, but argues exercise should be a first step or used alongside treatment. No specific study or source is cited in the conversation.
