Exercise is an EXCELLENT augmenter.
I wish I could get the depressed bipolar patients in our clinic to follow the American Heart Assoc. dietary guidelines and the government's physical activity recommendations.
I try to use as few meds as possible. I would much rather use 2 mood stabilizers at optimum doses than the cocktail of drugs I see a lot of people on (e.g. a mood stabilizer, an antidepressant, a benzodiazepine, an antipsychotic, sleep aid, etc.) Diet and exercise are often the ticket to simplifying the meds.
I do remind everyone to check with their general practice doc before they start any exercise routine.
