CONCLUSION
Based on the outcome of the research, the researcher concludes that there is no significant difference on the effect of exercise in combination with positive self-talk on depression than exercise alone. The researcher concludes that males differ significantly in positive self-talk than their female’s counterparts. They also conclude that those administered with high exercise will have a significant increase in reducing of depression than those administered with low exercise.IMPLICATIONS OF THE STUDY
The study will help to increase our awareness that exercise and positive self-talk reduces depression without pharmacological treatment. The study will also help psychotherapist with regards to fashioning out solution to the problem of depression. The study also, implies that exercise with out positive self-talk cannot work effectively on reducing depression.RECOMMENDATION
This research study should be carried out in another locality other than Nigeria with greater sample of participants. This will help to generalize the findings.
Also people should not focus only on pharmacological treatment such as antidepressant drugs e.g. selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, triciclic compounds, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, Lithium and strontium salts
LIMITATIONThe researcher experiences some financial problem during the course of the research. Also, it was difficult for people to register at the psychological services centre as people experiencing symptoms of depression because of the societal stigma that depression is for people that are not mentally sound.
SUGGESTION FOR FURTHER STUDIES
The researcher suggested that adequate rapport should be created with respondents in subsequent research. This will help the future researchers to get enough participants without much stress. Also, the researcher suggests that subsequent researchers should be well equipped financially so that they can find the research easy. Again, this type of therapy should be used in another research to be carried out on anxiety, phobia patients and people that has low self esteem and stress.
Finally, more research should be conducted in the area of this current research. This will help to increase the volume of literature in this area of research.
