Beat the Blues - warum Sport gegen Depressionen hilft

Exercise is good for our physical and mental health – but why exactly is that? And can exercise be used to help people recover from depression? Dr. Johannes Krautheim, Hannah Hartmann, and Leonie Sophia Wolf addressed these questions in their joint presentation "BEAT THE BLUES – Why Exercise Helps Against Depression" on September 23, 2022, at the Vitos Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy in Giessen. The presentation also incorporated experiences from working with depressed patients at the Vitos Clinic in Giessen, where antidepressant endurance training is an integral part of the therapy program.
