 note = {Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a most frequently occurred neuropsychiatric condition. About 25% of the female and 12% of the male in the population suffer from MDD at least one time in their lifetime. The treatment with currently available antidepressants are mostly effectively. Among other benefits to the health, exercise has been found to have therapeutic effect on improving MDD, and preventing from a new-onset MDD. But those benefits are often overlooked by psychiatrists, non-psychiatrist physicians, physical therapists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists. Methods: Besides my lifetime experiences of living my life, receiving training, teaching, and practicing psychiatry, I also collected information from published papers pertinent to beneficial issue related to exercise for patients with MDD in this review. Results: In this review, I have highlighted some important information that exercise helps in improving patients with MDD, and in preventing a new onset episode of MDD. Discussion: To keep the readership for rehabilitation therapists to be in mind, the author discusses the issue of exercise in the rehabilitative and habilitative perspectives in MDD treatment and prevention of future occurrence of MDD. Therefore, I also recommend that all patients with MDD are encouraged to start with a lifestyle of more physical activities and routine exercise., Review Article},
