According to the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), depression is the leading cause of disability in the United States and Canada. About 17% of American adults experience depression costing over 26 BILLION dollars each year. Every 17 minutes in the Unites States someone commits suicide. There are different kinds of depression and the full range of emotional reactions that can manifest. There is no blood test for depression nor is there a fail proof psychological test. Of course, hormonal imbalances can be detected in some people, but not the majority of those with depression. Many studies, around the world, have looked at the correlation of exercise and depression, and all of them came to the same conclusion: Those who exercise, 2-3 times per week, experience significantly less depression.
