Depression is due to a physical change in the brain. Certain areas of the brain shrink and stop functioning, which effects learning, attention, energy and motivation. Some neuroscientists call this the Hibernation Effect. One of the significant studies to correlate the benefits of exercise and depression found that for every 50 minutes of weekly exercise there is a 50% drop in the odds of being depressed. Human beings are social animals, so to fight depression, it is best to choose and exercise with others to make connections. Also being outside helps to further stimulate the senses.
