Covid19 makes you depressed, also or because of the associated lack of exercise. Why is that? A new study provides explanations. physical activity can affect depressive symptoms. This is the result of a study published in the Lancet in february 2020 by the department of psychiatry, the University of Kings College, London. A large-scale study of young people confirmed that a variety of psychosocial and biological mechanisms stimulates lack of exercise in the same regions of the brain that are also involved in depression. Conversely, one can say that those who are physically active stimulate their brain positively and avoid or reduce the risk of depressed mood or even depression.  A very important aspect for all non-athletes: the positive aspect to the psyche arises even with moderate movements.
