However, did you also know that you can dance your way out of depression?
Yes, it is possible! According to a research, dancing could prove to be an effective therapy to prevent and even treat depression and anxiety.
So, on this occasion of the International Dance Day, let us see how this art form, dance, helps with treating depression.
Endorphins
Like most forms of exercise, dancing releases endorphins in the brain. Endorphins are known as "happy hormones" that work at reducing stress, depression and anxiety.
Serotonin And Dopamine
Dancing regularly helps the brain to produce serotonin and dopamine in optimum quantities. These chemicals are very essential in the treatment of depression.
Fitness
For people who are depressed due to their weight issues, dancing can prove to be a fun way to reduce weight, thereby making them fit, as well as reducing their depression.
Great Hobby
Many times, people who have no hobbies are prone to depression, as they have no distraction from the mundane life. Dancing can be a great hobby that keeps a person both physically and emotionally healthy.
De-stress
Extreme work pressure and stress can also lead to depression and anxiety. Taking up dance lessons after work or during the weekends can help you relieve stress and prevent depression.
Socialising
Many times, being socially isolated and withdrawn can cause depression and loneliness. Joining dance classes or even hitting the clubs to dance the night away with your friends can really help!
Concentration
A research shows that dancing improves concentration and helps an individual to focus on the present. Practicing dance regularly can help a person to be in the moment and eliminate negative thoughts and fears about the future, thereby preventing depression.
Confidence
Professionals say that a confidence boost can go a long way in preventing/reducing depression. Dancing can improve your confidence level, as it is an art form that is appreciated by all.
