Abstract		Depression is a leading course of morbidity and mortality. The majority of depressed patients seek attention first from their primary care physician, whomostly prescribes pharmacological treatment alone. There is evidence that integrating physical exercise into therapy can improve treatment outcomes for many patients with depression or anxiety. In practice, exercise can be used asan augmentation therapy in partial responders to pharmacological treatment and cognitive-behavioral therapy, or as an adjunct treatment in patients with very specific residual symptoms of depression. The aim of this paper is to stimulate the endeavors to prepare and conduct physical activity pilot programmes for patients with depression in Slovenia.
Summary		Depresija je vodilni vzrok obolevnosti in umrljivosti. Številni depresivni bolniki najprej iščejo pomoč pri svojem osebnem zdravniku, kjer običajno prejmejo samo farmakološko zdravljenje. Sočasna telesna dejavnost pa lahko tudi pozitivno vpliva na izid zdravljenja pri številnih depresivnih in anksioznih bolnikih. V praksi se lahko telesna dejavnost uporablja tudi pri bolnikih, ki se na medikamentno in kognitivno-vedenjsko zdravljenje depresije le delno odzivajo, ali pa pri tistih, ki imajo zelo specifične rezidualne simptome depresije. Namen prispevka je spodbuditi prizadevanja za pripravo poskusnih programov za telesno dejavnosti pri depresivnih osebah tudi v Sloveniji.
