I was wondering if a few of you could weigh in on exercise as it relates to serious depression. I have always heard people say that exercise helps depression, but I almost have to laugh when this is brought up. The only thing I can gather is that it helps in light to moderate cases. Maybe I'm much sicker than others I've heard of, but I am rarely able to engage in physical exercise because of my depression, and on the infrequent occasions when I could, instead of making me feel better, I have some sort of strage rebound type effect that makes my problems significantly worse in the ensuing days, if not immediately. I've never been able to figure out why the counterintuitive effect occurs, seemingly contradicting a large body of evidence and advice I've come across over the years.
