Comparative benefits and harms of complementary and alternative medicine therapies for initial treatment of major depressive disorder: systematic review and meta-analysis.
The objective of this study was to report the comparative benefits and harms of exercise and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments with second-generation antidepressants (SGA) for major depressive disorder (MDD). The investigators indicated that although they found little difference in the comparative efficacy of most CAM therapies or exercise and SGAs, the overall poor quality of the available evidence base tempers any conclusions that they might draw from those trials.

Influence of depression on utilization of cardiac rehabilitation postmyocardial infarction: A study of 158 991 Medicare beneficiaries.
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between depression diagnosis and participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in a large sample of Medicare beneficiaries with recent myocardial infarction (MI). It concluded that diagnosis of depression in Medicare beneficiaries was strongly associated with attending CR and attending more sessions of CR compared with those without depression. Depression is not a barrier to CR participation after MI in Medicare beneficiaries.
