抑郁和焦虑是一般医疗环境中最常见的精神疾病，影响着美国数百万人。治疗抑郁和焦虑的方法多种多样，效果也各不相同。体育活动已被证明与减轻抑郁和焦虑症状有关。体育活动一直被证明与改善身体健康、生活满意度、认知功能和心理健康有关。相反，缺乏运动似乎与心理障碍的发展有关。具体的研究支持用运动来治疗抑郁症。作为轻度至中度抑郁症的一线治疗方法，运动比抗抑郁药物更有优势，而且当运动作为药物治疗的辅助手段时，也被证明可以改善抑郁症状。虽然没有得到广泛的研究，但锻炼已被证明是一种有效且经济有效的治疗各种焦虑症的替代方法。运动虽然有效，但并没有被证明能将焦虑降低到精神药物所能达到的水平。(如您。精神病学杂志（2011）：15-28
Depression and anxiety are the most common psychiatric conditions seen in the general medical setting, affecting millions of individuals in the United States. The treatments for depression and anxiety are multiple and have varying degrees of effectiveness. Physical activity has been shown to be associated with decreased symptoms of depression and anxiety. Physical activity has been consistently shown to be associated with improved physical health, life satisfaction, cognitive functioning, and psychological well-being. Conversely, physical inactivity appears to be associated with the development of psychological disorders. Specific studies support the use of exercise as a treatment for depression. Exercise compares favorably to antidepressant medications as a first-line treatment for mild to moderate depression and has also been shown to improve depressive symptoms when used as an adjunct to medications. While not as extensively studied, exercise has been shown to be an effective and cost-efficient treatment alternative for a variety of anxiety disorders. While effective, exercise has not been shown to reduce anxiety to the level achieved by psychopharmaceuticals. (Int'l. J. Psychiatry in Medicine 201141:15-28)
