N2  - This study was conducted to determine  the effect of  acupressure versus aerobic exercise on depression in postmenopausal women. 40 postmenopausal women diagnosed with depression by gynecologist and confirmed by Zung self-rating depression scale they were chosen from the outpatient clinic of kasr Al Ainy  Cairo University Hospital, Cairo University. Their ages ranged from 45 to 55 years with body mass index not exceeded 30 kg/m² participated in this study. They were distributed into two groups; each group consisted of 20 postmenopausal women, group (A) received acupressure by wearing wrist band for four weeks for 24 hours and group (B) performing aerobic exercises on treadmill 3 sessions per week for four weeks for a duration 40 mins (10 mins warming up, 20 mins running and 10 mins cooling down). Assessment was done by zung self rating depression scale before and after treatment, as the results showed that there was a statistical significant decrease in value of Zung self-rating depression scale in group B when compared with its corresponding value in group A. We can concluded that aerobic exercise is more effective than acupressure in the treatment of postmenopausal depression
