    Lillebeth Larun, Lena Victoria Nordheim, Eilin Ekeland, et al. · 2006 · Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews · 492 cites

    BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are common psychological disorders for children and adolescents. Psychological (e.g. psychotherapy), psychosocial (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy) and biological (e.g. SSRIs or tricyclic drugs) treatments are the most common treatments being offered. The large variety of therapeutic interventions give rise to questions of clinical effectiveness and side effects. Physical exercise is inexpensive with few, if any, side effects. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of exercise interventions in reducing or preventing anxiety or depression in children and young people up to 20 years of age. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (la

  5. Exercise therapy improves both mental and physical health in patients with major depression

    Jan Knapen, Davy Vancampfort, Yves Moriën, et al. · 2014 · Disability and Rehabilitation · 394 cites

    PURPOSE: to present clinical guidelines for exercise therapy in depressed patients derived from recent meta-analyses. METHOD: four meta-analyses on effects of physical exercise on mental and physical in depression were analysed. RESULTS: For mild to moderate depression the effect of exercise may be comparable to antidepressant medication and psychotherapy; for severe depression exercise seems to be a valuable complementary therapy to the traditional treatments. Depression is associated with a high incidence of co-morbid somatic illnesses, especially cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Exercise is extremely powerful in preventing and treating these diseases. Physi

  6. Impact of physical exercise on depression and anxiety in adolescent inpatients: A randomized controlled trial

    Arnaud Philippot, Vincent Dubois, Kate Lambrechts, et al. · 2022 · Journal of Affective Disorders · 214 cites

    BACKGROUND: Physical exercise therapy is of proven efficacy in the treatment of adults with depression, but corresponding evidence is lacking in depressed adolescent inpatients. The aim of this study was to document the effect of add-on treatment with structured physical exercise in a clinical population of adolescents hospitalized for depression and anxiety in a psychiatric hospital. METHODS: A group of 52 adolescent inpatients was randomly assigned to a physical exercise or control program three to four times per week over a six-week period (20 hours in total). The primary outcome was the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) for evaluation of depression and anxiety symptoms. Secondary

  8. Placebo Effect in the Treatment of Depression and Anxiety

    Irving Kirsch · 2019 · Frontiers in Psychiatry · 205 cites

    The aim of this review is to evaluate the placebo effect in the treatment of anxiety and depression. Antidepressants are supposed to work by fixing a chemical imbalance, specifically, a lack of serotonin or norepinephrine in the brain. However, analyses of the published and the unpublished clinical trial data are consistent in showing that most (if not all) of the benefits of antidepressants in the treatment of depression and anxiety are due to the placebo response, and the difference in improvement between drug and placebo is not clinically meaningful and may be due to breaking blind by both patients and clinicians. Although this conclusion has been the subject of intense controversy, the c
