Got a reference for that? My flatmate used to enjoy meditation a lot prior to his psychotic break, and is now explicitly not allowed to meditate.

Thanks!
There are a lot of different kinds of meditation. Lumping them together might like assuming that all exercise can be expected to have the same effect.
yeh, I’m not sure which type he used to do, although I suspect it was Vipassanna or closely related.
Doesn’t all exercise have largely the same effect in terms of peripheral benefits? Release of endorphins, better sleep, and so forth.
Not all exercise (especially if you include amount as well as type) is good for all people.
Good point, I was naively assuming reasonable types and limits.
