🧠 “It's not just movement that matters. It's the meaning, the setting and the experience surrounding the activity that determines the impact of exercise on mental health.”
A new study shared by ScienceDaily (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/07/250713031443.htm) reveals how depression may be more deeply tied to movement-related brain networks than previously understood. Researchers found that individuals with higher depression scores showed changes in areas of the brain responsible for planning and executing movement—suggesting that symptoms like sluggishness, lack of motivation, and fatigue may be rooted in neurological disruption, not just emotional distress.
At A Ray of Hope, our integrated psychiatry and neurology teams understand the brain-body connection. That’s why we offer cutting-edge services like TMS treatment, Spravato, and psychotherapy to treat both the emotional and physical dimensions of depression.
