Ejercicio para depresión/ansiedad (cruzado con Actividad Física)

Why / when / how

In people with depression/anxiety, the evidence shows a reduction of depressive and anxiety symptoms, with a benefit that increases with the dose. The certainty of the evidence in the critical outcomes is low. Even so, a strong recommendation in favor is issued, because the benefits outweigh the risks and the harm profile is minimal.

Cautions

Before intervening on mental health, assess the patient's emotional state, context, and treatments, and individualize the approach without replacing the treatment indicated by their health team. Carry out a screening of suicide risk and crisis situations. Advise seeking mental-health care on a priority basis in the face of warning signs such as thoughts of self-harm, marked functional decline, and worsening symptoms, and refer to specialized care when appropriate. Reassess the progression periodically.
