No, what I said wasn't ambiguous. Don't change my statement.

Right, but you didn't provide evidence for it. I've only ever seen comparison studies that show that exercise is roughly as good as medication, never seen one good review that shows it's better than medication.

There is nothing ambiguous about what I've said. Exercise is more effective than ssris at reducing depression symptoms, end of. There is empirical evidence.
Ssris rarely perform much differently than placebo in controlled trials. It's not really a difficult treatment to perform better than.

When you make an outlandish claim that is not common knowledge, the onus is on you to provide evidence.
>There is empirical evidence.
I've yet to see any. All I've seen is opinion.

It's not an outlandish claim. It's mainstream science. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not true.
No, you find the studies. I'm not your research student.
Have a lovely day.

Jumping in here. You made an absolute statement in r/science.
I personally agree with you, but you need to provide a source if you make an absolute statement; otherwise just say it "could be" if you don't have the time. You are communicating on a platform where some will place trust in anecdotal evidence from redditors, and others will begin to doubt their own understanding.
We should be encouraging that people support their statements with scientific literature to reduce potential incorrect information from circulating.

its always funny to see people arguing without sources

Respectfully, you're acting and debating like a child. If you have nothing to support your opinions and pass them off as fact, I have 12 year old cousins who do better than that.

Because its like asking me to provide a source that the earth is round.
