This article says that exercise benefits physical and mental health in patients with schizophrenia.
“In a study of 63 patients with schizophrenia, Thomas Scheewe (University
Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands) and co-authors found that 1 or 2 hours
of exercise therapy per week significantly reduced positive and negative
symptoms, depression, and the need for care, and improved cardiovascular
fitness compared with occupational therapy.” I do know that exercise will help
you lose or maintain the level of weight a person has. It is good to learn that it helps with the
negative symptoms also.
They also say: “Exercise therapy appears to be an effective add-on-treatment in schizophrenia, they write in Acta Psychiatica Scandinavica. In total, 31 patients were randomly assigned to undertake 6 months of exercise therapy, which was primarily designed to improve cardiovascular fitness but also included muscle strengthening exercises for variety, and 32 to receive occupational therapy, which comprised creative and recreational activities such as painting, reading, and computer activities.” I have continued doing my walking, although I have not hit the treadmill. I have no excuse I have to start again, because that is what helps a lot to lose weight changing up to different exercises.
The article goes on to say that: “Moreover, in per protocol analysis, which only included patient in both groups who had a compliance rate of at least 50%, exercise therapy was associated with a significant 20.7% reduction in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores…”That is good news and of course it helps keep depression away. They also say it helped reduce the need of care. I know exercise work well, that is why I have to do two types the treadmill and walking. I want my legs to be able to walk well into old age.
