Exercise should be part of everyone's lifestyle, but may be a particularly important part of the treatment of patients with depression and chronic fatigue. It will reliably and consistently decrease feelings of tiredness and despondency, although it is seldom sufficient as a sole treatment intervention for such patients. When initiating an exercise program, a baseline assessment should be followed by an exercise prescription and an appropriate degree of patient education about exercise physiology. This should be followed, in addition to other treatment interventions, by regular follow-up visits to make appropriate adjustments; provide encouragement and motivation to continue; monitor weight, body fat, and nutrition; and assess the effectiveness of the program on the underlying problem.

Psychological well-being: transcultural survey on homogeneous samples. A mental healthy survey was conducted on a multinational sample of 245 married women, aged 35-39, extracted from the general population on urban and rural communities in Switzerland, France and Algeria. All subjects were evaluated through a standardized psychiatric interview. The symptomatology found in the three samples is characterized by despondency, fatigue and anxiety. For the global multinational sample the following one-year prevalence rates were found: 13% for the depressive and/or anxiety state accompanied by mild impairment, 2% for the depressive state accompanied by a moderate or a marked impairment (total: 15% of affected individuals). The morbidity rate decreases going from the algerian to the french to the swiss samples. The analysis considering the socio-professional subsamples shows that the women farmers enjoy a better psychological health than other urban or rural groups (the difference is statistically significant).
