Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on post hysterectomy depression. Forty post hysterectomy women complained from moderate to severe depression shared in this study. They were selected randomly from Said Galal university Hospital, Alazhar university in Cairo. Their ages were ranged from 35 to 45 years old. They were divided into two groups equal in number, group (A) was treated by antidepressant drug (SSRI), while group (B) was treated by antidepressant drug (SSRI) and aerobic exercise sessions, 3 sessions per week for 9 weeks. The rate of depression was measured by Hamilton depression rating scale for both groups before and after treatment. The results of this study showed that there is a highly significant decrease in severity of depression in both groups in the Hamilton depression rating scale (P < 0.01). When we compared both groups together, there is a highly significant difference between both groups after treatment (more decrease in group B). Accordingly, it could be concluded that aerobic exercise is very effective in reducing post hysterectomy depression
