Nicoloff, George; Schwenk, Thomas L.
Physician and Sportsmedicine, v23 n9 p44-46,51-52,55-56 Sep 1995
Exercise can be as effective as psychotherapy and antidepressant therapy in treating mild-to-moderate depression, and even more effective when used in conjunction with them. Exercise can also be preventive therapy for those not clinically depressed. The paper explains how best to work exercise into a depressed patient's therapy. (Author/SM)
