Abstract Background Physical inactivity is a key contributor to the global burden of disease and disproportionately impacts wellbeing people experiencing mental illness. Increases in physical activity are associated with improvements symptoms illness reduction cardiometabolic risk. Reliable valid clinical tools that assess would improve evaluation intervention studies aim increase reduce sedentary behaviour living Methods The five-item Simple Activity Questionnaire (SIMPAQ) was developed by...
Aerobic exercise (AE) has positive effects on symptom severity and cognitive symptoms of depression. Since data AE as add-on to inpatient treatment in depression is still scarce, we conducted this double-blind randomized controlled study. Patients aged between 18 60 years were recruited into the study if Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17 (HDRS-17) score was >16. Participants randomly assigned either or basic stretching activities (control), which took place 3x/week for 6 weeks. Primary...
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a widespread and burdensome psychiatric issue. Physical activity counselling may increase lifestyle physical cardiorespiratory fitness in this specific particularly vulnerable population, which often suffers from both mental health problems. Therefore, study will examine the impact of intervention on activity, fitness, depression, cardiovascular risk markers among in-patients diagnosed with MDD compared to controls. Secondary purposes are acceptability...
Abstract Major depressive disorder (MDD) is an increasingly common psychiatric illness associated with a high risk of insufficient physical activity, which in turn negative mental and health outcomes. Theory-based, individually tailored, in-person remote activity counseling has the potential to increase levels various populations. Given this, present study investigated effect such intervention on behavior in-patients MDD. This was multi-center, two-arm randomized controlled trial including...
Over 300 million individuals worldwide suffer from major depressive disorder (MDD). Individuals with MDD are less physically active than healthy people which results in lower cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and favorable perceived compared controls. Additionally, may show autonomic system dysfunction. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate CRF, function in-patients different severity We used data 212 (age: 40.7 ± 12.6 y, 53% female) 141 controls 36.7 12.7 58% female). assessed CRF...
Background/Objective: Lower levels in well-being have been observed individuals with Major Depression (MDD) and Social Phobia (SP), but well-planned direct comparisons control individuals, not suffering from a mental disorder, are lacking. Furthermore, MDD is highly comorbid anxiety disorders, SP depressive disorders. This study among the first to examine differences clinical diagnosis of or compared no such test within combined diagnostic categories respective without anxiety-depressive...
Abstract Symptom fluctuations and the dynamic contexts provoking these are poorly understood. This deficit is compounded by people's limited ability to accurately report about such dimensions in retrospect. Utilizing advantages of experience sampling methodology (ESM), this study rigorously describes tests proximal environmental, neurobiological psychological factors associated with symptoms mood states. Participants were assigned three diagnostic groups: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD; n =...
Physical activity is associated with a favourable (blunted) cortisol stress reactivity in healthy people. However, evidence from experimental study and psychiatric patients missing. This examines whether exercise training impacts on inpatients major depressive disorder (MDD). These new insights are important because the of people severe symptoms depression might differ. Methods: The was designed as randomized controlled trial (trial registration number: NCT02679053). In total, 25 (13 women,...

(1) Background: While the antidepressant effects of aerobic exercise (AE) are well documented, fewer studies have examined impact AE as an add-on treatment. Moreover, various on neurobiological variables been suggested. This study examines Cortisol Awakening Reaction (CAR), serum Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (sBDNF), Tumor Necrosis alpha (TNF-alpha) and sleep. (2) Methods: Inpatients with moderate-to-severe depression (N = 43) were randomly assigned to or stretching condition (active...
Background: Aerobic exercise (AE) may be a non-pharmacological strategy to improve depression treatment and lessen the burden of somatic comorbidity depression. Only few studies have examined effect AE as an add-on for moderate severe in inpatient setting, most focused on severity cardiovascular parameters. The purpose present article is study protocol, provide information about assessed population, perform manipulation check order examine whether intervention program was properly...
Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) are characterized by neurocognitive impairments and show deficits in various cognitive performance indicators, including executive function. We examined whether sustained attention inhibitory control differ between patients MDD healthy controls, differences exist mild, moderate, severe depression.Clinical in-patients (N = 212) aged 18-65 years a current diagnosis of 128 controls were recruited. Depression severity was assessed using the Beck...
Problem: Depression is a widespread disorder and among the leading causes of disability worldwide. In this article, we perform an umbrella review on association between depression excess mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD), risk factors. We also provide overview mechanisms that explain these associations. Finally, discuss clinical implications from general perspective potential physical activity to favorably influence relationship premature mortality. Methods: Meta-analyses were...
Introduction A physical activity counseling intervention based on a motivation-volition model was developed and delivered to in-patients with Major Depressive Disorders the aim of increasing lifestyle activity. The this study is evaluate short-term outcomes intervention. Methods multi-center randomized controlled trial conducted in four Swiss psychiatric clinics. Adults who were initially insufficiently physically active diagnosed Disorder according ICD-10 recruited. sample consisted 113...
Introduction Compared to the general population, individuals with depression have an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, little is known so far whether cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) moderates this relationship. Therefore, we examined common physiological factors differ between patients and healthy (non-depressed) controls, controls in CRF, higher CRF associated a lower both controls. Additionally, within patient sample, mild, moderate severe depression, relationship...
Abstract: Introduction: The aim of this study is to provide an overview Paralympic athletes’ views on mental health in a competitive sport context. Although research the field has increased exponentially over last two decades, and its promotion have hardly been subject so far. Previous shows that practice sports influences athletes both positively negatively. Mental disorders are no exception, even elite sports. Well-coordinated care for prevention treatment challenges crucial purpose....
Background: People with mental disorders more often engage in sedentary behaviours than healthy controls. In Switzerland, nearly all psychiatric hospitals offer structured exercise and sport therapy as part of their standard therapeutic treatment. However, little is known about the degree to which patients make use these treatment offers. Therefore, this study examines in-patients (a) how many them participate programs offered by clinic, (b) activities on an individual basis, (c) meet...
Abstract Background It is known that only 50% of patients diagnosed with major depressive disorders (MDD) respond to the first-line antidepressant treatment. Accordingly, there a need improve response rates reduce healthcare costs and patient suffering. One approach increase treatment might be integration pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing stratify drug selection. The goal PGx assessments identify who have an increased risk experience adverse reactions or non-response specific drugs. Especially...
Physical inactivity is a world-wide health issue. In people with major depressive disorders approximately 68% do not reach the recommended physical activity levels. Psychosocial determinants of and implicit attitudes towards serve to explain behavior may form basis interventions promote activity. The aim this study was examine, whether psychosocial vary according depression severity. Physically inactive, adult in-patients diagnosed disorder (according ICD-10) were recruited from four Swiss...
