(1) adjunctive use of #lighttherapy or non-invasive neuromodulation (e.g., rTMS/tDCS) for moderate MDD, particularly in medication-intolerant patients; (2) combined regimens (e.g., morning #lighttherapy with SSRIs & rTMS paired with #CBT) for TRD to leverage synergistic mechanisms; and

Findings suggest that modifiable lifestyle behaviors significantly influence MDD risk, with aerobic exercise potentially having a causal protective effect. Improving mental health by promoting physical activity, reducing sedentary behaviors, and optimizing sleep duration is recommended.
