About Me

Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

Source for Depression & Physical Activity Research

My July 23rd post on exercise and depression research didn't contain the source for the article. I have found it and am passing it on.

"Efficacy of Physical Activity in the Adjunctive Treatment of Major Depressive Disorders: Preliminary Results," appeared in Clinical Practice and Epidemiology in Mental Health, 2007, 3:8. The lead author is Alessandra Pilu.

Results of the study showed that physical activity seems to be a good adjunctive treatment in the long-term management of patients with Major Depressive Disorders.

For those who use the IU Library, Clinical Practice and Epidemiology in Mental Health is available online.
