Patient Education: The Tapestry of Emotion and Exercise

Martin Miner, MD

Swansea Family Practice Group, Swansea, Massachusetts, Martin_Miner{at}Brown.edu

In everyday practice, it is important to realize that the tapestry of emotion and body, via the conduit of exercise, is closely linked. Anxiety is reduced following exercise. Depressed patients who exercise maintain their gains longer than those who do not. Exercise is an effective means and adjunct to medical therapy to treat both anxiety and depressive disorders, often present as comorbid disorders.

Key Words: emotion • anxiety • cardiovascular risk • exercise
