> People in this thread are repeating the myth that exercise is a treatment for depression, when all the evidence we have shows that it probably isn't. Thank you for clearly stating this. Depression is not "Gee, I've been feeling tired and blue for a couple of days," but it is commonly confused with "short term, mild melancholy". Depression is a serious illness and needs to be understood and treated as such.
