S2E26 - Exercise Prescriptions for Mild to Moderate Depression
Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!
Exercise for depression is a high-yield non-drug intervention backed by NHMRC Level 1 evidence. This episode breaks down the OSCE-ready prescription: 30-40 minutes of supervised group exercise, 3x/week for at least 9 weeks. Discover why a mix of aerobic and resistance training is superior to solo activity. We cover critical safety checks, like mandatory cardiovascular risk assessments, and why exercise is not a sole treatment for severe depression. Learn to navigate Medicare rebates for exercise physiologists and overcome motivation hurdles with a graded approach!

Pro Tip: In the OSCE, explicitly state that you are recommending supervised group exercise of moderate intensity (where the patient is breathless but can still talk). This level of detail shows the examiner you are applying specific evidence-based guidelines from RACGP HANDI!
