I even notice when i exercise my meds work better. Exercise is just plain good for you..it's that simple. Especially when one has depressive/mental disorders. Endorphins and other "feel good" chemicals are released during and after exercise that have a positive effect on mood.
The biggest problem i have w/exercise is when i go into see my pdoc feeling HORRIBLE/DEEPLY DEPRESSED and he asks me to exercise. Yea, like i Fu*kin' feel life exercising when i can barely get out of bed. Even though, i know this is when i need it the most!
