dc.description.abstract | The phrase, sound mind in a sound body was at first used by Homer in ancient Greece1. Today anxiety and depression have become one of the most common disorders, not only in the developed world but also in Pakistan. They represent a significant component of the global burden of disease, and are proposed to become the second most common cause of disability by 20202. Research on depression and anxiety has shown that physical exercise is a newer modality to improve mood and decrease anxiety. For mild to moderate depression, the effect of exercise parallels psychotherapy as well as pharmacotherapy. Even for severe depression, exercise appears to be a valued adjuvant therapy to the conven- tional medical treatment3. | en_US |
