Mental health and physical exercise - The effect of a physical exercise programme on self-reported symptoms of depression

This book analyses the role of physical exercise and its relationship with mental health, with emphasis on the treatment of symptoms of depression common in diagnoses of schizophrenia and affective mood disorders. The aetiology, epidemiology and the main theories explaining the psychological benefits of physical exercise are addressed, seeking to identify evidence of the antidepressant nature of physical exercise in psychiatric treatments.
