When Covid-19 surfaced globally in February-March 2020, nobody could have imagined that it would take at least two years until things would start getting better.

Life hasn’t been easy for anyone, but specially for teenagers. Online classes and the lack of face to face interaction and physical activities have taken a toll in their lives to the point that many became demotivated, suffered from depression or simply lost direction and hope.

Dr. Michael Craig Miller, assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School wrote an article entitled “Exercise is an all-natural treatment to fight depression”. He points out the positive effects of exercise in people’s mind, body and emotions. 

As life starts getting back to normal, may we all include sports and intentional physical activities in our daily routine. They are one of the best natural treatment for depression.
