i have clinical depression and hit the gym at least three times a week. i also have a bff kick boxing pal with incredibly bad clinical depression. it doesn’t help all depression. it doesn’t help me or my friend. medication kind of helps but no, exercise isn’t a paragon.
Yeah, I started working out every day this year, not heavy just bike and aerobics and some bodyweight stuff to tone up some, and while I do feel better and feel a lot better about myself, the depression is still there it didn’t go anywhere, but it’s just diminished I guess. It’s certainly not a panacea but it’s worth a shot for sure and most people could use it

Agreed, this headline is facile, and perhaps even harmful. Depression comes in many varieties, and exercise may even make some forms worse.
