Reply to comment by essaitchthrowaway in A single session of exercise or yoga and meditation has positive consequences for those hospitalized for depression by thebelsnickle1991

Clearly you don't understand depression. I got up every day. I kept my job my family my marriage. I did everything in my power to keep my life together. I didn't say it doesn't work. I had no interest in being coddled. There is nothing familiar about depression. Giving up is what depression does to you. If you can muster the motivation to exercise while depressed then more power to you. I could not.

Literally the scientist studying these things are telling people that X, Y and Z helps, and you still have people who love to wallow in their own self pity saying otherwise because ThEy KnOw BeTtEr.

This is how garbage misinformation has helped push anti vaxx sentiment and undermined real science.

Did you read my response? I did not say it doesn't work. How about this? Exercise is how my son and daughter have both avoided severe depression. Maybe if I had started vigorous exercise when the symptoms first started I could have avoided the worst of it. I am not pushing misinformation. I am sharing a subject that does not get enough attention and certainly not enough empathy from people who nothing about it.
