Like I said, thats the catch. It is easier to pop a pill then get exercise. The problem is that depression never happens over night.
Yes, medications do give that quick boost, but like many others on this page, have found they poop out, and leave me needing to augment with this or that.
Clearly, I have not thrown medications out the window, but it was intereting to note that even though exercise does not give such reinforcement, it got me eating and sleeping, and back to enjoying things during the day.
I felt absolutely worst, when I said: "forget exercise" and "let meds do everything"
