Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This narrative review compares Tai Chi with pharmacotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for mood disorders, focusing on mechanisms, side effects, and long-term outcomes. It is intended for readers interested in the theoretical integration of mind-body exercises into mental health treatment frameworks. The authors suggest Tai Chi may serve as a complementary adjunct due to its somatic approach and lack of drug-related side effects, though evidence remains preliminary.
