Probably telling anyone with that attitude anything will not go well. Telling an person struggling with addiction issues to just stop using, telling a person struggling with health-issues related to obesity to just eat less food, etc. There is no one magic thing for depression usually...neither in a pill, nor in an ECT or ketamine treatment (though those last two can come close for some people), nor in exercise. But we don't need to approach exercise with the attitude of strict parent telling the lazy depressed person to get off their butt! Instead, we can be examples of people that are living, embodied and active, and tell what it has done for us, and encourage them to think of movement as both a natural birthright and medicine.
