- | ==== Exercise and Psychiatric Disorders ==== | + | **Exercise** is structured physical activity with the goal of maintaining or improving physical fitness or health. Exercise is a highly effective, but often under-utilized treatment in the management of psychiatric disorders. |

Combining antidepressants with lifestyle changes, such as exercise is supported by well-designed studies.[([[http://www.mdedge.com/currentpsychiatry/article/63598/exercise-prescription-practical-effective-therapy-depression|Sidhu, Kanwaldeep S., Pankhuree Vandana, and Richard Balon.

- | == Exercise Prescription == | + | ===== Mechanism of Action ===== |
- | Physical activity should be prescribed for all patients with anxiety, affective, eating, and substance use disorders, as well as schizophrenia and dementia/mild cognitive impairment. Scheduled physical activity can induce improvements in physical, subjective and disorder-specific clinical outcomes.[([[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3567313/|Zschucke E, Gaudlitz K, Ströhle A.

+ | ===== Indications ===== | ||
+ | * Exercise is not a disorder/disease specific treatment. Various studies have supported its use in: | ||

+ | * Population studies show that participation in physical activity may prevent the onset of depression.[([[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24139780/|Mammen, G., & Faulkner, G. (2013).

+ | |||
+ | ===== Treatment ===== | ||
+ | * Recommendations for total exercise time vary according to different studies. | ||
+ | * In the depression literature, at least ''30'' minutes of supervised, moderate-intensity exercise at least ''3'' times weekly for at least ''9'' weeks is recommended. | ||
+ | * As with any physical interventions, the participant's physical fitness needs to be taken into account as well. | ||
