Depression Movement Prescription
A depression movement prescription sets a modest daily movement dose—usually brisk walking—as a mood adjunct alongside sleep, light, and professional care.
A depression movement prescription is a clinician- or coach-agreed movement dose—often twenty to thirty minutes of moderate walking most days—used as a mood adjunct, not a hero workout. Intensity stays conversational; missed days get a five-minute restart instead of abandonment.
Pair with sleep and light anchors; medications and therapy still lead when symptoms are moderate or severe.
Common questions
-
Is intense exercise required for depression movement?
Moderate aerobic activity most days is the common evidence target—hard intervals are optional later. Consistency beats heroic sessions that you skip after one bad week.
