• Describe the results of literature on the use of exercise in the treatment of depression & anxiety

• Identify physiologic and psychologic processes by which exercise and movement may affect mood

• Explore the connections of anatomy, physiology, posture and emotion

• Delineate how movement and exercise may benefit patients with mood disorders WHY EXERCISE/MOVEMENT FOR ANXIETY & DEPRESSION? “We should not exercise the body without the joint assistance of the mind; nor exercise the mind without the joint assistance of the body.” ~Plato • Variations in diagnosis RESEARCH HAS PROVEN TO BE • Variations in type of exercise DIFFICULT • Dose of exercise • Different methods of assessing depressive scores • Small sample sizes • Source of subjects • Exercise Location • Variation in Age • Health Status • Physical activity only vs those aimed at changing multiple health behaviors • Lack of concealment • Incentive POSITIVE STUDIES

• North 1990- Meta-analysis • Bridle et al 2012- Systematic Review and Meta- 11 • Acute/Chronic exercise effective and effects may begin at the Analysis of RCT first session • Exercise will reduce depression severity in patients >60 • All types of health statuses had decreased depressive scores • Robertson 2012 systematic review and meta- • Decreased regardless of location analysis- • Older subjects had a greater decrease in depression • Walking may be a useful adjunct for depression treatment • May only be useful with clinical depression • Cooney et al 2013- Cochrane Database Systematic Review (update from 2001, 2009, 2012) • Anerobic and aerobic both effective • “Exercise may have a moderate sized favorable • As effective as psychotherapy and added with psychotherapy greatest effect association with depression, but because of risk of bias, this association may be small.” • Lawlor 2001, Sjosten 2006, Rethorst 2009- Meta-analysis • Exercise is moderately more effective than no therapy for • Exercise may be effective but recommended further well- reducing symptoms of depression designed trials • Exercise is no more effective than for • “exercise treatment had significantly lower depression” reducing symptoms of depression or psychological • Conn 2010- Meta-analysis on healthy adults therapies • Reduction of depressive symptoms in healthy adults • Exercise is superior to bright light therapy NEGATIVE STUDIES

• Krogh et al 2010- Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of RCT3 • Conclusion: (small benefit)- little evidence of a long-term beneficial effect • + Clinical Diagnosed Depression, adults of all ages- 13 trials limited power • DEMO 2009/DEMO II 2012/TREAD 2011/TREAD-UK 2012- RCT’s • DEMO- aerobic exercise vs anaerobic vs relaxation (control) • DEMO II- aerobic vs stretching- reduction in both groups- but no difference between groups • TREAD 2011- non significant trend toward remission at 16kcal/kg/week • TREAD 2012- (usual care vs usual care + intervention) exercise was ineffective and a more costly strategy • FAILED to find statistically significant effects of exercise • Underwood et al 2013 RCT • Aged 65 years or older in care homes- twice weekly exercise sessions with a physiotherapist • Exercise did not reduce depressive symptoms in elderly residents of care homes COMPARING EXERCISE TO ANTIDEPRESSANTS

• Blumenthal et al (1999, 2007)49, 41 • 16 weeks of group exercise in older patients with MDD was as effective as Sertaline • At 10 months the relapse rate and rates of depression was significantly lower in the exercise group than the medication group or combination group • 2007 study- remission rates- supervised exercise 45%, home exercise 40%, medication 47%, placebo 31%

• Dunn 2005- RCT4 • Public health does is an effective monotherapy for MDD

• Mota-Pereira et al (2011)26 • Treatment resistant MDD (pharmacotherapy vs pharmacotherapy + exercise) • none in control group had remission/ 26% remission in exercise group EXERCISE FOR ANXIETY

• Petrezzullo 199151, Herring 2011 Meta-analysis • Exercise reduces anxiety • “Exercise training reduces anxiety symptoms among sedentary patients who have a chronic illness” • Broocks 1998 RCT • Significant improvement in panic over placebo, but less effective than clomipramine • Cochrane review 2006 50- Meta-analysis • Ages 11-19- Small effect in favor of decreasing depression & anxiety scores • Conn, V. 2010 • Statistically significant improvement in anxiety outcomes in Healthy Adults • Other studies23 • Acute exercise is anxiolytic • Exercise may induce panic attacks- largely disproven- Exposure Therapy SUMMARY

• Overall- Exercise is shown to improve symptoms of depression and anxiety • Exercise is better than placebo • Exercise is equal to Sertaline • Exercise is equal to psychotherapy • Exercise is superior to bright light therapy • Walking is effective for treating depression • Exercise is a good adjunctive intervention for CBT • We need more studies for better data and description of type, intensity, frequency PHYSIOLOGIC PATHWAYS BY WHICH EXERCISE MAY AFFECT MOOD

Monoamine Dysfunction (Serotonin, Endorphins, Norepinephrine) HPA Axis Dysfunction Neuroimmune system dysfunction Neurogenesis Dysfunction Other Models Psycho-social, Behavioral, Cognitive MONOAMINES

• Increase in response to stressors and pain • Opioids • B- endorphin calms the sympathetic nervous system and provides relief • May stay elevated 2-3 days • Serotonin • increases with activity (increased production) • Norepinephrine and Epinephrine • increased levels with activity (increased release) • Dopamine • Increased levels with activity HPA AXIS

• Prolonged stress can lead to increased cortisol levels

• Early life events can lead to a persistent sensitization of the HPA-axis

• Dysregulation related to psychiatric disorders

• Depression usually has hyperactivity of the HPA axis

• Exercise leads to a physiological “toughness”

I BELIEVE EVERYTHING GOOD HAS A SHAPE. SHAPES ARE THE WAY IN WHICH WE KNOW WHO WE ARE AND WHERE WE ARE IN OUR UNIVERSE. SHOW ME THE SHAPES AND FORMS A MAN GIVES TO HIS LIFE, AND I WILL TELL YOU WHETHER HE IS A MASTER OR VICTIM OF THAT LIFE.”

-Gail Godwin, Glass People

Postures Become Patterns Can our anatomy change the shape of our emotions? “Anatomical studies tend to depict images that are two “FEELINGS HAVE A SOMATIC dimensional, thus missing 9 the most important ARCHITECTURE” element, emotional life. At the same time, , which is committed to the study of emotion, lacks an anatomical understanding. Without anatomy, emotions do not exist.”9 ~Stanley Keleman

Emotions

Sensorimotor changes “Life make shapes. These shapes are part of an organizing process that embodies emotions, thoughts, and experiences into a structure”9

“Shape is imprinted by the challenges ” and stresses of existence 9

“Structure is slowed down Process”

Dr. Stanley Keleman “Emotional Anatomy” http://thefinchandpea.com/2013/07/31/the-art-of-science-peter-trevelyans-delicate- geometry/ “The internal connection of all layers gives rise to tissue consciousness, the sum of sensations from all levels of cells in a pattern of trillions of surfaces and internal environments. This gives birth to individual self-awareness”9

“WE ARE A GEOMETRY OF SOMATIC CONSCIOUSNESS” 9 TENSEGRITY

• Compression and Tension • Dynamic Element? • Emotional Releases? • Observing our patients emotional posture “a person’s physical postures are not just “windows” or passive indicators into emotion; instead, postures are behaviors with stimulus properties (social and proprioceptive) that can have a self-regulatory role as they affect the person’s own self- perceptions and actions.”18
