Of course that wouldn't bother me. In fact, that's what I would expect. If you're "depressed" but you don't workout, adding a solid workout plan to your life

If you're "depressed" but you don't workout, adding a solid workout plan to your life can be a bigger positive effect in your mood than therapy or medication.
But... if you're managing your life well, including exercising, and still feel depressed then that's what I am qualifying as "clinically depressed".
Of course we all get "depressed" when we eat like shit, don't have meaningful relationships, don't have a meaningful career, and never workout. That's to be expected.

This is the point I still can't understand. So in other words you're only clinically depressed if the only thing that helps you is external help (medication, CBT, etc...)? Why do you use that definition? It doesn't seem to be a definition shared by the psychiatry community or the psychology community.
