The same happened to me, sort of. I never once had a psych say "You might try exercising to treat your depression." They would only prescribe medication. Then a few years ago my GP, who took over maintaining my prescriptions, asked me if I exercised regularly. I wasn't. So I started going 3 times a week, then 5-6, and I've been much less reliant on my medication to keep my spirits up. It's pretty shocking to me that this is neither a standard question psychs ask nor a suggested (additional) treatment modality.
