Impact of Psychomotor Therapy on the Quality of Life in Depression

"The content of the sessions will be personalised and determined solely by a qualified psychomotor therapist in charge of the patient, based on each participant's individual psychomotor profile, as determined from the initial assessment.~The 12 sessions will take place with the same PT in a dedicated room at the centre where the patient is being treated. The sessions will consist of a range of playful static and dynamic body exercises, including exercises for emotional and tonic regulation, tonic-postural adaptation, and perceptual-motor adaptation.~Not all participants in the GP group will have the same progression, nature or frequency of exercises over the 12 sessions.~The study only allows for individual treatment. Other therapeutic approaches such as balneotherapy sessions, animal mediation, adapted physical activity programmes or targeted relaxation programmes are not permitted.~During each session, the participant will be required to complete the Duke health profile."

Participants in the GC group will continue to receive their usual depression treatment without any changes to their prescribed therapies. Their participation in the study will involve weekly monitoring of their quality of life using the Duke scale. A nurse or psychomotor therapist will conduct this monitoring during a weekly fifteen-minute telephone interview. The follow-up will begin one week after the inclusion visit and will last for 12 weeks. Telephone appointments will be scheduled jointly with the participant based on their availability.
