Exercise as a treatment for schizophrenia

Exercise as a treatment for schizophrenia Most treatment recommendations for schizophrenia don’t mention the potential benefits of exercise. And if exercise does get mentioned as a recommendation, it’s usually not accompanied by the jaw-dropping list of benefits that it can provide. In this lecture, I explore the potential benefits of exercise for people with schizophrenia, and take a high-level look at the biochemical and neurological changes it can produce. This lecture was given at the August 4, 2020 meeting of the SZconsult learning community. Check out SZconsult.org for more information. SZconsult is a free consultation + education service offered by Northeast Ohio Medical University. It’s open to any clinician who wants to learn more about schizophrenia-spectrum illness, or who wants to tap into the collective wisdom of the learning community to find answers to clinical problems.
