I am doing an article for New Mobility magazine about exercise and its role in helping with depression. I have studies on how it can help by increasing and or releasing endorphins in the brain, and have read that even being up in our wheelchair vs. laying down helps this process.
In my *survey of one* I find this to be true--clinical depression runs in my family-- my dad had it, and running and/or riding an exercise bike helped him a great deal. I have it as well and find pushing my chair and/or getting my heart rate up by peddling my stationary hand cycle helps. Does anybody find that exercise helps fight the blues? If so, I am looking for people that could do a short phone interview, for a quote or two for the article.
