Mind-body Exercise, Mood Disorders
Conditions
Brief summary
The interoception capacity may be changed with mind-body intervention. This study case investigated the interoceptive capacity, measured by MAIA scale of a pacient with mood disorders and if it can be influenced through of a 7 weeks intervention of interoceptive exercises and the impaction in the patient´s daily life. The aim was analyse the effects of mind-body exercise program with interoceptive approach in the anxiety and depression symptoms, interoceptive capacity, as well your impact in paitient's daily activities. M.S is 47 years old, was forwarded from University Hospital Clementino Fraga Filho to extension project named as corpo&mente (body-mind), an anamnesis was performed including patient's life story, interoceptive scale, anxiety and depression scale from Hamilton and a risk stratification to realize physical activities (it was also performed post-intervention). The exercise program lasted 1h 15 min and it was performed once a week.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALinteroceptive mind-body exercise
A interoceptive mind-body exercise program in a patient with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder based on a Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness.

The intervention is divided in 4 parts, that are: Preparatory phase (reception) the subjects will be welcomed through subjective analyzes of the researcher; Initial phase (preliminares) Mindfulness, grounding, sensory stimulation and joint warm-up exercises are performed; main phase (exercises) stretching, mobility, posture and balance exercises are performed with full attention and listening after each exercise; Final phase (relaxation) breathing exercises, stretching exercises, body scanning and relaxation are performed.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mnteroceptive capacity | Day 1 | assessed by interoceptive scale named Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness. In this scale, the average of each of the seven dimensions is calculated, the higher the value, the greater the interoceptive capacity. |
| Anxiety symptoms | Day 1 and after 7 weeks | To measure the level of anxiety symptoms the Hamilton Anxiety scale was performed. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale has 14 items, each item is scored from 0 (absent symptoms) to 4 (disabling symptoms(, The higher the scores, the greater the levels of anxiety. |
| Depression symptons | Day 1 and after 7 weeks | Hamilton Depression was used to measure the level of depression symptons. It has 21 items, where the scores for symptoms from 0 to 5. The higher the scores, the greater the levels of depression. |
