According to a recent analysis of numerous published studies, exercise may be a viable treatment alternative for those looking to improve their mental health. <\/p>\n<p> Jasper Smits, director of the Anxiety Research and Treatment Program at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and lead author of the review, found that patients who exercise on a regular basis report significantly lower levels of anger and stress as well as fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety. <\/p>\n<p> Specifically, Smits and his colleagues found that exercise positively affects neurotransmitter systems in the brain and reduces feelings of a racing heart or rapid breathing\u0097two symptoms commonly reported by those suffering from severe anxiety. <\/p>\n<p> &quot;Exercise can fill the gap for people who can&#8217;t receive traditional therapies because of cost or lack of access, or who don&#8217;t want to because of the perceived social stigma associated with these treatments,&quot; said Smits. <\/p>\n<p> &quot;Exercise also can supplement traditional treatments, helping patients become more focused and engaged,&quot; he added. <\/p>\n<p> For most patients, the researchers recommend a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week. <br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.directnews.co.uk\/feedtrack\/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1961&amp;itemid=19706497\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.personalliberty.com\/news\/exercise-may-help-reduce-symptoms-related-to-depression-anxiety-19706497\/\" >http:\/\/www.personalliberty.com\/news\/&#8230;iety-19706497\/<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>04.06.10 11:30 AM Patients who are suffering from depression or anxiety disorders and who are not interested in traditional therapy options may be in luck.
