If exercise was a cure for depression than the assumption would be that people get depressed because they don't exercise which simply is not true.
As stated i know people who are daily exercisers who have gone into depressive episodes. The causes of depression are varied and complex and there are no simple answers. I also believe that there are times when psychic energy is low and exercise may even exacerbate the depression.
I think Scott hit it right on the head with his analysis and he appears to be the most knowelable on these issues.
