Stress, Anxiety and Depression (SAD)!
Although Stress, Anxiety and Depression (SAD) can be experienced singly or in conjunction with one another, the role of exercise as an affective intervention in preventing and managing any or all of them is well documented.
Moreover, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and/or Cognitive Talk Therapy (CBT/CTT) are useful tools as well in controlling negative, dysfunctional thoughts, feelings and behaviors and replacing them with more positive, constructive thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
(SAD) Loosely Defined:
Stress: the amount of subjective pressure we perceive ourselves to be under at any given time, as well as our ability to cope with it.
Anxiety: anticipatory worry or feeling of fear (real or imagined) in the immediate or distant future.
Depression: marked by feelings of sadness, often accompanied with low self-esteem and lethargy.
SAD is documented to increase with age, especially when accompanied with discomfort or disease.
