Can cold water immersion (CWI) serve as a potential therapy for the treatment of depression? If you follow my stories, you know that I have a plunge in my apartment that I use every single day. I experience enormous benefits from doing this, from physiological to psychological. What does the science say? A 2020 study examined the physiological effects of cold water immersion on mood (PMID: 10751106): Ten participants were submerged in 57°F water up to their heads for an hour. Measurements taken at 0, 30, 60, and 120 minutes showed: ✅Norepinephrine levels skyrocketed by over 500%. ✅ Dopamine levels surged by 250%. Even after 120 minutes post-immersion, both norepinephrine and dopamine levels remained higher than baseline. This neurotransmitter response might hint at why cold therapy is being explored as a depression treatment tool 🧠 Do you do any form of cold water immersion?
