Abstract
The results of the present study indicate that the combination of psychotherapy and therapeutic physical training allows the efficacy of the treatment of non-psychotic depressions to be increased. The depressive disorders were diagnosed and dynamically evaluated using the psychometric HAMD-21 scales, Zung questionnaires, and XDI. Short-term integrative psychotherapy in the patients presenting with non-psychotic depressions was carried out in the form of autogenic training, suggestive therapy, and cognitive-behavioural therapy. Kinesitherapy was performed in the form of integrative gymnastics and breathing exercises believed to produce the psychotropic effect. The combined application of the above therapeutic modalities proved to be more efficacious than either of them. Special therapeutic exercises alone were insufficient to achieve the desired result. The efficacy of the combined treatment of the children and adolescents with affective borderline disorders with both methods described as the marked improvement was estimated at 73.5% compared with 25.8% among the control patients managed with the help of therapeutic physical training alone (p<0.05).
