Description
How do our minds view policies that we don't really like, once they become a reality? New research shows that once they actually take place, our mind set changes - and surprisingly we stop minding ...quite as much. So have we been overestimating the amount of opposition to new initiatives? Kristin Lauren from the University of British Columbia has found that we rationalise the things we feel stuck with.There’s been much research on the link between exercise and depression, but to what extent does exercise prevent depression, rather than help with it? An international team including Brendon Stubbs, a post-doctoral research physiotherapist at the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London, has identified 49 studies from around the world which followed non-depressed people for an average of seven years asking them how much exercise they did. The results are striking. And Claudia meets the second of the nine finalists for the All in the Mind Awards 2018. We hear from Nathan who’s nominated Judith, a counsellor at the Oxfordshire Association for the Blind who has played a huge role in addressing Nathan’s mental health issues since his sight began to decline.
