This is definitely not monumentally new advice but it is something that many people overlook when people are diagnosed with depression.
When people exercise it creates habits, these habits become something that allow people to have something positive to look forward to during their daily routine.

From the Harvard article, "How does exercise relieve depression? For many years, experts have known that exercise enhances the action of endorphins, chemicals that circulate throughout the body.
