The context is people being given treatment by the state, sometimes against their will, sometimes when they've been deprived of their liberty.
Given that context it's important that we don't force people to do anything unless we know it works, and the previous evidence didn't tell us that.
I'm glad exercise works for you, and I always support people finding out what works for them.
- atomical 8y agoIs exercising harming them? Why apply such a high standard to something is healthy especially when western populations are sedentary? I think there should be a measured approach.
- kaybe 8y agoExercise usually hurts more that lying around, even when you're not depressed. So yes, I think it can harm.

- kd5bjo 8y agoSome people use the word “exercise” to mean any physical activity, and others use it to mean pushing your body near its limits. Lots of the bewilderment that happens in these discussions is between people that define the word different ways and don’t realize it.
- kaybe 8y agoExperience.. if we're not talking about a leisurely walk or light garden work, there is always some pain in exercise. (These endorphins people talk about.. how long do you have to run for? Maybe if one gets more fit? ) There is joy in moving (and good feelings afterwards) too, but if you are unable to feel that, then only the boredom and pain remains.
