These studies suggest that exercise alleviates depression and anxiety through physiological, biochemical, psychological, and inflammatory mechanisms, including reductions in inflammation, oxidative stress, and serotonin levels, improvements in brain structure, and enhanced coping self-efficacy.
Exercise has been widely recognized for its positive effects on mental health, particularly in alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety. The mechanisms behind these therapeutic effects are multifaceted, involving physiological, biochemical, and psychological processes.

Combination with Behavioral Therapy:
The therapeutic effects of exercise on depression and anxiety are mediated through a combination of physiological, biochemical, and psychological mechanisms. These include neurotransmitter regulation, neuroimmune changes, structural brain improvements, endorphin release, HPA axis regulation, enhanced self-efficacy, inflammation reduction, and the thermogenic effect. Additionally, combining exercise with behavioral therapy can further augment these benefits.
