Exercise is not only good for your physical health, but your mental health as well.
People who suffer from anxiety, depression and other mental health issues need to get up and move, according to a panel of experts Monday morning on KODI’s “Speak Your Piece with Darian Dudrick.”

The panel included Steppe; Dr. Shaun Balch, Yellowstone Behavioral Health Center clinical director; and Peter Mason, physical therapist, and Cody Dibble, personal trainer, both from Advantage Rehab Physical Therapy.
