Reply to comment by Slizl in Sports and Other Exercise a Natural Antidepressant for Teens. Research found supervised exercise programs are associated with significant reductions in symptoms of depression among children and teenagers by Wagamaga

Definitely, it's not just about the act of exercising, but also the exposure to other people, situations, environments etc. that helps. If you just exercise in a basement by yourself you won't experience the same antidepressant effect as participating in a fun social activity.
