"Exercise For Adolescents With Depression: Valued Aspects And Perceived

Change." Journal Of Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing (2016): 37-44.

Sinclair Library. Web. 10 July 2016

The authors name is Timothy Carter, and this research article is titled,
Exercise for Adolescences with Depression: Valued Aspects and Perceived
Change. This article was published in a yearly updated medical journal
titled: Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing. The point of this
article is that the research led to doctor to say, yes, the exercising does help
elevate the moods and minds of the adolescents.
The purpose of writing this article was to share it with other medical
professionals and share research that was conducted over a six-week period.
The doctor had participants with depression go through his course twice a
week for six weeks. That being said, this does contain a lot of research and
medical terms. It was not meant to be read by the general public, but it is
still easy to follow through what was conducted and what the outcome was.
The writer is a doctor with a PhD, and it was also overseen by two other
doctors and one other master of science degree professional. We know the
author has adequate information because he conducted the research himself
with the other medical professionals. He experienced this first hand.
This is my favorite article for research because I can use this to show how
exercise can improve and elevate your mood and mindset over time. I will
use this (especially with the doctor being very credible) for a lot of quotes.
This is a good place to pull real research and numbers from when I talk about
how the exercising improves the mood.

Clear, James. "The Huffington Post." Natrual Happiness: The Truth About Exercise

and Depression 3 February 2016. Web. 10 July 2016

The name of the author is James Clear. The name of the article is called
Natural Happiness: The Truth about Exercise and Depression. It was posted
both on jamesclear.com and The Huffington Post. This article talks about the
long terms affects of research conducted on people with depression using
medication, exercise, and a combination of both. Essentially, this article says
that on the long term scale, exercise beats out medication. This is because of
the self confidence and satisfaction that comes as a side effect of exercising.
More than 30% of people who took just medication had a relapse of
depression vs only 8% relapse of the people who exercised.
The purpose of writing this article is to share with people the benefits of
working out, and possibly trying it. It was written for anyone to understand.
The general public, you could say. The actual conductor of this experiment is
James Blumenthal, a professor of Neuroscience at Duke University.
The writer is a professional weight lifter, and he is the man who reported on
this topic. But the person with research is very credible. He works with the
human brain as a neuroscientist, and because of this he explains why people
had relapse vs non relapse.
I will use this article in my research to show not only why exercise is
effective, but it is also effective long term. It is also cheaper, and better for
you than taking medication for depression.

Hallgren, Mats. Exercise, Physical Activity, And Sednedtary Behavior In The

Treatment Of Depression: Broadening The Scientific Perspectives and Clinical

Oppotunities. 2016. Sinclair Library. Web. 10 July 2016.

The authors name is Mats Hallgren. The name of the article is Exercise,
Physical Activity, And Sednedtary Behavior In The Treatment Of Depression:
Broadening The Scientific Perspectives and Clinical Oppotunities. The
research journal/article was originally post on the Frontiers in Psychiatry
webpage. This is an online journal that posts articles about exceptional new
research in the medical field. It is mainly for doctors, and also can be read by
general public. It is reviewed by peers and doctors before being published, so
it is gone through credible sources before being posted. It is also important
to note that only actual doctors can contribe new information to this
webpage. They like to keep their credibility. Which can be found under their
website tab Mission Statement.
The article talks about three factors for the treatment of depression.
Exercise, TAU (Treatment as usual), and ICBT (Internet cognitive-behavioural
therapy). It was concluded that exercise and ICBT has better long term (three
months) by 78% than TAU. TAU is code for medication treatment for
depression.
The writer, Mats Hallgren, has a PhD from Karolinska Institute in Sweden. He
currently researches and works in the Department of Public Health Services.
I will be using this article to talk about the long term effects of exercise for
the treatment of depression. I can also use this to pull numbers from, and
show that exercise has any effect at all on depression.

Kutzman, Lori. ""Exercise, Diet Have Role in Mental-Health Treatment"." Columbus

Dispatch, The (OH). Points of View Reference Center. 03 May 2016.

Newspaper. 10 July 2016.

The authors name is Lori Kutzman, and the person she interviewed is Dr.
Megan Schabbing from OhioHealth in Columbus. The article is titled Exercise,
Diet Have Role in Mental-Health Treatment, and was originally written for The
Columbus Dispatch. The intended audience is the readers of the newspaper.
The article talks about how diet and exercise in the role of curing depression
is just as important as the antidepressants. While one is not necessairily
more important than another, lately Dr. Megan finds herself writing a
prescription for 30 minute walk with graddaughter 3 times a week more
often than take this pill.
The purpose of this article is to get people thinking about diet and exercise
as a possible way to combat depression. Get out and experience, and also
take care of your body. They also cover in this article the old ways of doing
things like grandma. Taking the fish oils, and making sure you are getting
things like vitamin D.
The interviewee is part of the OhioHealth system. She is a doctor, so she has
first hand experience with people coming to her about the issue and topic of
depression. We know this source is relilable because of her credibility of
being a doctor, and the credibility of The Columbus Dispatch running the
article in their newspaper.
I will use this information to talk about how a doctor thinks it is important to
prescribe exercise to certain people, and how it is just as important of a
prescription as something like an antidepressant.

Lynette L Craft, Ph. D. and Frank M. Perna Ed.D., Ph.D. "US National Library of

Medicine." The Benefits of Exercise for the Clinically Depressed (2004): 104-

111. Web. 8 July 2016.

The author of this article is Lynette L Craft PhD and Frank M Perna EdD and
PhD. Lynette L Craft is a professor with Northwestern University in Chicago
and Frank M Perna is the Program Director for National Cancer Institute
Health Behaviors Research Branch. This article was originally written for US
National Library of Medicine. For access to doctors reading. The article and
research journal outlines the research the two doctors completed about
depression for people who are clinically depressed. The outcome is for a
majority of people behavioral therapies like exercise for depression does help
with many of the symptoms both short and long term.
The purpose of this article is for doctors to look at this research. Of the
articles I have read, this is one of the more complicated ones intended
mostly for doctors reading the research. It is a lot of numbers based, and a
lot of raw research. This is more of a journal of findings, but because it is
conclusive about the results (exercise equals good) I think it can be used. If
not for long sentence quotes, but also direct numbers of people in research,
as well as the credibility of people. Frank working for the US Government,
and Lynette working for one of the most prestigious medical colleges,
Northwestern. They are both great sources.
I will use this information to show comparisons of exercise to medication. It
breaks down specific medications to exercises. Instead of general exercising,
this article also explains in detail what exercises people are performing. That
I feel is very important information.

Sgobba, Christa. Men's Health: Does Exercise Really Fight Depression? 29 October

2014. Web. 10 July 2016.

The author of this article is Christa Sgobba and it was written for the
magazine Mens Health.
I like this article for many reasons. I would like to think that a magazine like
Mens Health is reputable. They sell millions of magazines every year, and
people really seem to buy it and read it. The point of this article is to break
down why exercise is good for you in simple terms. This is not meant for
doctors eyes, or anyone with a medical back ground. This article is meant for
people like you and me, and it is easy to follow. I also like that this articles
does not have all numbers and research. It tells what exercise does to your
brain to help cope with things like depression. I feel like it is important to add
a source like this one in my paper to give it some kind of recognition (most
people know what Mens Health magazine is).
I will use this article to pull quotes and easy to follow things like How much
exercise do you need. For example: 45 to 60 minutes of an exercise session
with a heart rate at 50 to 80 percent of its max is about the equivalent of
popping a Zoloft. Or lifting weights it is recommended doing three sets of
eight reps at weight that is 80 percent of your 1-rep max. These are all good
things to know when writing a paper about exercise.

Stern, Carly. 'I fight my depression every day': Woman details how exercise helps

her to fight her mental health issues as she reveals images of her dramatic

physical transformation Carly Stern. 29 April 2015. Web. 10 July 2016

This author of this article is Carly Stern and the interviewee is Aliesha
Peterson. This was originally posted on The Daily Mail. A UK based news
webpage.
I would not normally post an article like this, but I really wanted to include a
first person, real life situation of how someone overcame their mental health
through exercise. This is the perfect example of a woman who still fights
everyday and feels better and better. The article says that even though the
woman [Aliesha] had a slow progress, she never once gave up in her fight
with her mental illness [depression] or her habits of working out. Her entire
reason for starting to work out was because she was extremely depressed,
and she absolutely refused to go on any kind of antidepressants for it. Her
therapist said she should join a gym and go three times per week. She
reluctantly did, and she hated it. She hated how she felt there, and she says
she had no idea what she was doing. Then three months into it, she kind of
started enjoying it.
The credibility here comes from the first hand account from Aliesha. I know
this is real and true because she has essentially posted a journal though this
interview sharing real thoughts throughout her process, as well as many
pictures from various points. 'Instead of laying in bed all day crying, letting it
consume me, I get up and do things - go to the gym, do yoga, walk my dogs,
see friends. I love this quote; I would use this in my writing to show how
exercise has really helped people overcome the depression in their lives. It
has worked for a real person with an actual story.
