Does Massage Help Depression And If So How?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've long received massages and have been told that massage helps depression. I think massage is good for over all health but I'm wondering if someone can tell me more exactly how it helps. Does massage help depression and how ?

@A MyDepressionTeam Member Hey! Thank you for answering that question! Yeah, it makes all sense. It helps by the endorphins which we also get by exercise! Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful day!😀Oh, I think this IS the question and answer page! 😊

Massage releases endorphins. Endorphins are your own natural "opiates" that make you feel good. Massage is beneficial both mentally and physically. Keep getting massages.😄👍

Good answer but just try getting something like that covered by insurance, lol. That's the response you would probably get, laughed at, even though it is called 'massage therapy' for some strange reason.

'Massage therapy' is not for regular people.
