PDFRe: Facilitated physical activity as a treatment for depressed adults: randomised controlled trial
13 June 2012
The critics of this article have responded fairly accurately on the limitations of this study, particularity on aspects on design and methodology (1). However, this study does clearly emphasize a well known fact in the treatment of depression: giving advice on behavioral change will not merely improve mood, no matter how structured and lengthy the advice giving process is. And so, the authors do earn points for this.
