> Besides the famous dopamine are endorphins. I haven't heard of legal drugs that help with endorphin problems. To the world: NO, my body does not produce endorphins from exercise. Maybe the body's mechanism that creates them is part of my depression problem.
Or perhaps the endorphins are there, but are not being recognized or their circuits not routed properly. Exercise does not improve my depression at all, so I can appreciate the frustration in hearing from all directions how universally effective exercise is supposed to be to treat depression. Just as Prozac doesn't work for everyone, exercise does not work for everyone either.
