춤, 달리기, 요가, 그리고 근력 운동이 다 좋다고 알려짐. 그중에서도 춤 달리기 효과가 제일 좋은 듯. 하여튼 운동은 웬만한 우울증약보다 좋다.

운동이 왜 좋냐면 기본적으로 neuroplasticity를 높여서 그런 것 같음.
One compelling line of evidence suggests that exercise is beneficial for depression because it stimulates neuroplasticity, a broad term for the brain’s ability to alter itself, such as by creating and strengthening neural pathways. Some research indicates that depression can be perpetuated by a cognitive pattern called rumination, where people get “stuck” focusing on negative thoughts. By stimulating neuroplastic processes, exercise may create new neural pathways directed away from these negative thoughts, directed instead toward more positive thoughts and feelings, thereby improving symptoms. But this is just one possibility — for more on the mechanisms by which exercise may benefit depression, see this Editor’s Pick from October 2023.
