    Depends on the individual. I have persistent depressive disorder and I can absolutely see a significant change for the worse when I get off track with my exercise.

    But being better than depression medication is a very low bar to beat.

      Is this strictly related to doing sports and the hormones it creates, or could this be linked to having a routine?

        I don’t believe establishing an exact causation is possible because of how complex the brain is. It’s likely a mixture of the two, though, since you’re routinely releasing the hormones by exercising.
