More on exercise and mental health (information courtesy, Lawrie Hallinan):

From ABC Health Updates:
THE MOZART MAULERS (Sports Factor: 29/10/2004) Depression is the most common
mental disorder. It's responsible for half of all suicides in Australia. The
prescribing of antidepressants costs the government, through the PBS, around
$155 million a year. Dr Nalin Singh believes there is a better way to cure
depression - exercise. Maria Tickle talks to one of Dr Singh's patients,
72-year-old David Lewis who says an exercise program has changed, if not saved,
his life. Also,
author and musician Dorian Mode on how rugby league has helped him cling to
sanity.
