Mental health encompasses a variety of conditions, including depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, and personality disorders. These conditions can impact a person’s ability to socially, cognitively and behaviourally function. Because of this, work and completing physical activity becomes difficult and can lead to isolation. There is still a poor understanding of mental health and what the best treatments are, but we do know that exercise is evidenced to be beneficial, and even be as effective as pharmacological interventions.
