Summary
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States, second to anxiety (Anxiety and Depression Association of America, 2016). Depression can lead to various emotional and physical problems that decrease a person’s functions and lead to poor long-term health outcomes (Dynamed Plus, 2017). Many risk factors can lead to MDD. These factors can include biological factors such as a family history of mental illness; social factors such as loneliness, isolation, and lack of a meaningful relationship with family or peers; behavioral factors such as alcohol and drug abuse; and psychological factors such as childhood trauma, or stressful experiences such as major illness or death (Dynamed Plus, 2017). This study examines whether providing 50 minutes of aerobic exercise per day, three times a week for six weeks, to individuals who are 18 to 40 years of age can reduce depression levels. The goal of the intervention is to demonstrate the usefulness of aerobic exercise programs to help improve depression levels in clinical settings and society as well. The target goal is to decrease depression levels by the end of 6 weeks.
