>No bashing of exercise. It's one of many tools available when one is depressed. Generally psychic energy is low and any tool that elevates that energy may help the depression. For me it can be a cup of coffee. Right now it is very cold where I live and that seems that the shock of cold air elevates my mood. For some reason exercise flattens my mood right now. Long sessions suck out my energy. I find that doing a bunch of short tasks and keeping busy helps my mood.
