Running Tool Study

Running For Depression / Running For Mania

Running is the most sought after form of exercise. It requires no special equipment hence making it a convenient tool for everyone. Those going through depression, mania and mixed states often find themselves doing a lot of running. There is a definite positive impact of running as a tool to help those who are in such states of depression and mania. While many people rave about the difference running has made, when we dig a little deeper we find that how one uses the tool has a major effect on how well it works.

Please take a couple of minutes to answer the following questions about how you are using running as a tool. Our hope is that by answering a few simple questions you will learn more about how to use the tool yourself, but also that what you share can benefit others when we compile all of the information we gather.

The study is completely anonymous. We do not even ask who you are or any identifying information. Please fill out the questionnaire below right away and thank you in advance for helping us with our study of running as a tool for depression, mania, and mixed states.
