Spoken like an exemplar of n=1 'I understand it' individual who experienced mild depression and thinks they know everything there is to know, while being completely ignorant of chronic treatment resistant depression which is the real issue. Exercise, sleep, mindfulness, SSRI, whatever other things might work for you, they don't work for everyone. Don't mistake your experience for describing 100% of the population. Exercise specifically is a non-solution and has been demonstrated to be a step on the hedonic treadmill. Once fitness goals are achieved, the depression benefit wears off unless ones sets every more difficult fitness goals. No different than reaching for that pay rise, that better car, that bigger house, etc. It's never a solution.
