The Effectiveness of Exercise as a Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in Adolescents: A Systematic Literature Review of Randomised Control Trials

[摘要] Aims Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the most prevalent mental health condition among adolescents. Current treatments have limited effectiveness, accessibility and questionable safety profiles. Exercise is becoming a more widely recognised intervention for MDD in adults. However, evidence and research for its effectiveness in adolescents is lacking. This review aimed to establish if exercise is effective at reducing MDD symptoms and severity in adolescents, and thus its first-line treatment potential.
