Exercise improved the response of Modafinil on bipolar depression in a number of studies (Belmaker, 2007). This is not to say that exercise is a substitute for medication, but even low intensity exercise was found to relieve or cure many psychological conditions in many cases by altering the stress hormone receptors (Wiles, Haas, & Gahhacher, et al., 2007). The benefits of even small amounts of exercise are well documented in many respected clinical journals. Exercise helps to alleviate many mental and physical conditions.
