  • Would I be able to cure my depression with just exercise?

    Exercise is a great form of self-care and is associated with a boost in endorphins, which make us feel good. I think what you’re experiencing post-exercise is likely resulting from those endorphins. In my experience, a comprehensive approach to treating depression includes psychotherapy, medication (when necessary), and lifestyle changes such as exercise, a healthy diet, sleep, hygiene, and so on.
