Recovering from Depression - Part 2

[nakedrootsmagazine]

Dr. Breeding, thank you for this video. I cannot even begin to explain how much I needed to hear all of this first now, part 1 and part 2. Thank you, thank you.<3

[crowlandboy]

You really help put things into perspective!!

[twomps730]

I want you to be my doctor.

[RobRokken]

I'm so bad now, I can't barely get out of bed in the morning. I'm actually more tired than when I went to sleep. When I finally do wake up, I get energy for about 3 hours and then I can't keep my eyes open anymore, and have to sleep. Then I say, "I have to live my life like this?, I have no life". And the cycle starts again, over and over.... Just another day....

[matty205224]

I agree with doctor Breeding. I feels the most depressed when I feel betrayed by other people. This makes me feel cynical and unwilling to open myself up to trusting people. Trust is a big part of successful relationships, which are the key to happiness.

[NonGnostic]

This second video seems more useful than the 1st but I'm still stuck. What's one to do when being a high functioning, intelligent but damaged post traumatic brain injury person with mental fatigue, physical tiredness, horrible depression, and an encompassing life that is just as messed up? If drugs aren't the answer and there is indeed a physical cause what can I do?

[MrJuandaco]

These are the best videos about depression I've seen. I have been on medication, and I could not agree more with Dr. Breeding about that. Drugs are not the answer.

[MrSolmon123]

There's a small and excellent online depression support group called Depression Hangout that is always open to anyone who is struggling with mental health problems (not just depression). It's run in its own chaotic way by its members who meet regularly in the chat room and it's a great place to seek and provide help and support, make new friends and even just have a laugh. (We all need that too!) To join just go to depressionhangout-dot-blogspot­-dot-com.

[dreamaz1]

ive been thru some shit in my life that cud of caused it without me noticing .. but these past 3 years since ive had depresion ive been thru even worse which made me worse im underacheiving like crazy but i dnt care ive just given up recently mah heads fukked cant wait to die ill be in peace one good thing about depresion is that death aint too bad cantwait to die ...... peace

[slanderousprincess]

This is truth, and is refreshing and uplifting to hear. Thank you.

[Evethemagnificent]

@lify21 i dont even remember commenting on this video. ive been treated in a hospital for severe depression. i got out a month ago and my family shipped me to another country. im still on an anti-depressant. i think that escaping the situation i was in was the best for me. all the mumbo jumbo stuff about having positive thoughts and being religious is not cutting out for me. good and kind-hearted ppl cannot live in this world and should change their approach towards this cruel cruel life

[Bill99Cass]

These difficult times for me have been transition times. Since there is no way to get around them use them to become a stronger person. Purpose always makes me feel better about difficult mental and spiritual times. I like to think of it this way, keep my eyes on the path and not on the scenery. Life is not easy for anybody and I think there is a reason for that. Keep moving in the right direction even if you get knocked down, get up and continue. It will be a worthwhile effort.

[tropical481]

I wish more psychologists were like him.

[Afsoon2009]

I hate the new society concepts they tell us be positive all the time... do not nag ...never cry,,, always smile gently...oh my God I wanna be myself!

[hassanbinafzal]

I FUCKING LOVE YOU!

[markstar777]

u prtend so much....

[Evethemagnificent]

well for me, i would rather be on sedatives and anti depressents then be sad and sobbing all the time. people who have never suffered from insomnia , thinks its pretty easy for insomniacs to sleep . i wish aand hope i pray that i can be normal and interact normally with ppl. it took me 9 years to be convinced that i ihave depression and ironically its making me mre depressed. being numb is the best thing for me, at least i dont have to get shocked by people's cruelty towards one another.

[lify21]

@Evethemagnificent  and since your thought is not mater and is running how your brain chemicals behave...you need a divine guidance...

no mater how you feel...if you are conscious o God you'll have hope...and keep going if God's will....it's All in god's hand After All ONLY the reasons are but the means is from GOD

[vialb2]

Chemicals is not the proper sol. to depression for most ppl. But God is not necessarily the answer. I am a scientific (a chemist just for the irony) and I dont believe in god. The reasons for my depression are mainly because I see people scared of the unhappiness of others as it was contagious. And there are situations where people need help of others. Many of the others try to avoid these situations for their own perfection. I see a lack of Help, Love and Trust to believe in a God (in America).

[vialb2]

@vialb2 that was a reply to @lify21 in case it didn't work

[Evethemagnificent]

It just surprises me how its eqasy for doctors to talk about how people can change their lifestyles with proper diet, exercise and sleep. how do depressed people sleep or do they sleep at all? diet... how can you eat when you dont have an appettite, exercise, in my case i exercise like crazy, im now on stillnox and lexotanil, and i still cant sleep. crying since morning till night for two months nonstop and going to a therapist who only listens and doesnt give any proper advices.

[greenalert08]

@Evethemagnificent Oh, and you forgot bipolar people!

[lify21]

in these blessed month RAMADAN i suggest to ALL human being to read the Glorious Quran.To understand our purpose in life .A true believer never gets depressed ..because he always have hope i n god . in the next life ...hut it's the cursed Satan that makes us forget god and lose hope so that we may become on of the..losers.

[Evethemagnificent]

@lify21 Bleh, im a muslim as well. Quran truly soothes me but its not a magical cure. being depressed is not being a loser. if you want to preach daring abt your religion, go to the muslim channels

[lify21]

@Evethemagnificent let me tell you this....i live in the USA and i've been in the hospital 7 to 8 times for the last 5 years but allpraises to God ...two reasons high and low .when i'm low i really get in to weird stuff and used to make me lose hope .to the point where i doubted God .And when i'm high i become very religious ..plus there were some stuff going on...

[lify21]

@Evethemagnificent what i've experienced from hospitals and medication is

1.they make you lazy...they give you false reason to believe why you are not functioning..

2.they bury your problems

3 they make you think the're magical cure.

the truth is any mental problem that is caused by thought is ONLY going to be cured by THOUGHT ....Simple...becasue your thoughts (non mater)are causing you to feel that way not ..the mater ..(your brain chemicals .)

[lify21]

we really appreciate what you are doing to help humanity

[snow6768]

You are a rock star to me dude!!

[bigpigbolocks]

U should be President!

[1schwererziehbar1]

also chocolate.

[biporio]

Suicide and depression can be a little tricky. How could take away your life if your energy is so low that you couldn't even leave the bed? Psychiatrists say it happens in "mixed states" of bipolar disorder, when energy is at peak but there is no way you can find joy at anything.

So, here again we watch psychiatry contradiction when they relate depression and suicide.

[hibeeOz]

We are glad you became a doctor too Dr. Breeding that looks like a rock star! Makes what you say digestable! Thanks.

[biporio]

@hibeeOz Hahahaha

Yeah, it makes me think abou ZZ Top or an older version of Pantera or Sepultura, indeed.

\m/

Oh, wait, there is to much heavy metal here, may be I'm to angry. Gimme meds!

[britainmjames]

but this doesnt apply to an atheist. i believe nobody has a purpose. now im not saying we dont have a reason because we all make our own reasons for staying alive. i would like to better the owrld hut i would not necassarily say we were born with a purpose

[garciare1]

I disagree. I, too, subscribe to atheism but even so it does diminish my and your need to feel needed and appreciated for whatever we choose to do. Dr. Breeding and others merely refer to it as a purpose. As Shakespeare once wrote, a rose by any other name still smells as sweet. In short, let us not quibble over terminology and fail to see the forest for the trees.

[jimbomac888]

Great video! I enjoyed watching you and I feel better a bit.

[khaz6pill]

Nice video

[delifoodexpress]

common sense advice - very good

[MikCheyenneBusDriver]

Another great video!

[88bananapeels]

My sex drive is non existent and has been for around 10 months... on this fuckin AD which is probably not helping. Mind you I'm a 20 year old male... and my doctor thinks it might be helping so he doesn't want me to stop taking them... I say they aren't doing shit but he warns me... my experience with the docs, shrinks, etc. has sucked donkey balls... bunch of arrogant fuckers who claim to have the solution when they dont

[biporio]

@88bananapeels [2]

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

Wow

You're such a wonderful person

Thank you for your posts

"Make a connection with nature"

[deliciousonionsoup]

Dr Breeding, it's good for us that you didn't become a rock star because you are talking a lot of sense here. Thank you.

[biporio]

@deliciousonionsoup Well, he got the atitude.

[lacqueredhearts]

The first part just made me laugh...

[anarocksu]

i want him to be my therapist!

[flyketcher]

Thank you for posting this and other videos. They/you are truly helpful to me at this stage in my life. I was reluctantly contemplating meds, but I believe that maintaining awareness that my depression at this juncture makes sense, I will come through it faster & with better results. I plan on returning to your videos as needed. Thanks

[Littleladyfirebird]

This was very helpful, thank you for posting.

[malice2312]

well, i was doing kick boxing 10h a week! And still, i'm falling everyday more and more into my depression... what can I do about that... well i try to kill myself. And then i went to a psychiatrist... and then i told him that i don't wanna take drugs and he insisted so much... and now, even so i had a good nutrition, a good life stile (no smoke, no alcool, no drugs...), nothing is hepling me. I just wanna die. good news.

[stratman687]

well a human needs more variety than that...too much of ANYTHING can be a bad thing. Try doing different things all the time and focus on it.

[Lunita783]

Absolutely interesting vid. I too would love to have a conversation with this man, he seems very wise and inspires me to continue to learn more about psychology.

[stratman687]

I think this is all excellent advice, but isn't it all really just common sense?

[jenyfur4884]

stratman, that's the thing, exactly. It is common sense, but everything in our society right now is "counter-intuitive". We're having common sense literally conditioned out of us, so we can't make decisions without the guidelines of the establishment.

[CooeeEcho]

it's breeding obvious ... we are dosed full of "Intelligent Design" and "Natural Selection" ... what happened to Natural Design and Intelligent Selection?

... we are mushrooms fed on bullshit and kept in the dark

[fairie311sweetie]

um, antidepressants help me with my major depression Ive had since a youngster completley. I dont think that sexual dysfunction is a horrible side effect! hmm suicide or sexual dysfunction which is worse?

[Devinodell]

i say placebo effect

[jmaccan11]

this guy makes some good points. the biggest turning point for me has been learning to accept my thoughts and feelings. Anxiety, fear, depression, critical thinking etc.... i would always beat myself should i experience any of these things. Where in fact, they are all very normal, and are actually there to help us. this shift in attitude i found to be massive. think about it. peace out you'll

[OverlordJake]

Those this isn't my video, thanks for posting this comment, as it gives me a lot to ponder.

[jmaccan11]

Drugs are bad mmm kaye

[redscorpionx1]

or smoke pot...

just kidding.

Meditation and Salah helps me a lot.

[petestrat07]

What an interesting fella. He's right on the money with exercise and nutrition.. Fixed me and I was comletely lost. I'd love to have a chat with this man ... very wise.

[hsttraindriver]

Read Explaining colours to a blind man. Not only will it enlighten many as to what living with a mental illness is like, it also gives comfort to those sufferers who think there is no hope and that they are alone. It is very informative, sometimes shocking but also very funny in parts. All in all, a good read and highly recommended.

[pinkus83]

thanks for the vid's. I like the way this doc describes things, it makes sense. I was diagnosed with major depression and my doc kept pushing me to take an anti depressant. I refused because he couldn't give me any justifiable reason to do so

[chrismighton]

This guys is awesome. Thanks for the video. Great wisdom you're sharing with people here.

[Andromeda1741]

I wish all psychologists were like this guy

[barbixy]

what about those of us who developed serious depression as children due to having monsters for parents? I've struggled with this throughout my lifetime and I'm still struggling with it.

[MadeiraIslands]

I come from the same place as you.

I haven't lived with my parent for over 20 years and I'm still haunted with the crap I've seen as a child,. It just wont let me go.

[Andromeda1741]

Read the book 'Ask and It IS given" by Abraham Hicks, they have videos on youtube too. It will help alot. Message me if you have more questions

[klintx]

welcome to the club. you are so not alone. Does that help at least a bit? Also some food for thought: maybe it's a bigger invitation for "growth and transformation" as Dr. Breeding puts it? Personally, I'd like to reward myself with a thought that it's me who is breaking the vicious circle of pain, hurting others and deep denial my parents are living/lived with;)

[DC180]

Thanks for sharing this video..

[uneasyMeat]

thank you very much for this video. It's a great start for me...

[GoogleVideoMan]

the flow of life. I'm a lot happier. lol good stuff

[debs4mysweetbaby]

Everything he says is true for me..

Thanks for posting :)

[leous666]

I feel very depressed becuse i had paid sex with an ugly girl and she stunk very badly and i think that she gave me an std and i also kissed her in the mouth yuck. I am the guy that never would have sex with such an ugly girl i dont know why i did Its a past regret and im very major depression about it. Im all so depressed because in the future i know i might get a pretty loving wife an i will always have the bad thought that I had sex first with that ugly monster before i had sex with my wife.

[hootiepaladin]

Ha ha ha...unless you were serious.

[leous666]

whats does that suppost to mean

[hootiepaladin]

Oh, nevermind. If I have to explain it, then it's not going to be funny to you.

[hootiepaladin]

No...HA HA...I'm not sorry, it's just way to funny. How can I be depressed after that?

[leous666]

you have to realize people get depressed over diffrent things what might make me depressed might not make you depressed and vice versa.

[hootiepaladin]

I totally agree that people get depressed over different things that happen in life! It also true that people find humor in different things as well. Your original post for example:

"I feel very depressed becuse i had paid sex with an ugly girl and she stunk very badly and i think that she gave me an std and i also kissed her in the mouth yuck..."

This was just sooo hilarious and it was hard for me to take seriously...I mean, jeez....

[elm118]

Good video

[tasha122277]

i would like to also note to people who are already in shape enough and want some yoga that i have started doing the adidas women yoga routine with rainbeau mars (it's on youtube) and it is really amazing.

[dcbaker08]

You dont have to have goals , thats the beauty of life , society tells us we must be winners and achieve but society isnt the embodiment of life , just a small twisted illusion of control over life.Just go for it as far as what you really want to do with this window of existance people call life , as long as your dream isnt hurting ppl lol. Im not paranoid , its just that everyone hates me. Good luck to everyone in the fight against the big D , im in the fight too .

[Rodolfsk8]

@dcbaker08 the big D? I'm not calling it like that, since it isn't something I sympathyse with...

[jmek01]

ive no goals

no dreams nothin

music helps in a way but its not wat im REALLY interested in

so yh purpose is VERY important cuz it may give me STRUCTURE & direction

god this sucks lol

the walkin in woods thing sounded nice

i think by being outside in nature like that could b kinda cozy :)

[italouruguayricano]

read Viktor Frankl's "Man search for meaning"

He survived the holocaust and wrote about it, it can not get worse than that.

[ExiExi]

I think one of the main problems about depression is how hard it is to take the first step and ask for help, start talking. It may sound like no big deal for most peole out there but.. damn, it's so overwhelmingly embarassing and scary. It's all like - "everyone will think I have lost my mind. They gonna laugh at me..". Probably it also depends on particular community with certain beliefs and opinions.

[splatterviz]

Exi, You said it, and we just keep trudging along in the rut we're in. Depression can create a sort of "comfort zone" (though it's not exactly comfortable) and it progressively takes away hope, and the ability to see that help isn't as far away as we think.

I used to wonder, "how could someone take there own life". Now, after living with this, I know how.

The funny thing is, many others that we think are so "adjusted", have (or have had) these issues.

Hope you're doing O.K. now.

[quartercherries]

thank you! that was great.

[Metsada007]

I'm always anxious and depressed, it almost seems as if it's my fate.

[BRONXPEPE]

i know how u feel i hate it

[Metsada007]

Depression may be natural in certain periods of our lives, but why do some people get easily depressed and for much longer periods than others?

[jakejakewhat]

thats what im wondering... if you have been depressed for a long time does this apply?

[dongato11]

I guess its because people react to things diferently than others, in this case some people react to whats happening to their life diferently. But much more importantly, I believe that people react to their thoughts diferently than others(positive or negative). When in drepression people should challenge their negative thoughts. If you accept negative thoughts as the absolute truth, then I guess you are perpetuating depression or at least prolonging it.

[zwan94]

Sensible advice

[leavein90]

i get depressed alot but i never abuse myself or consider suicide

[BRONXPEPE]

i feel the same way cuz im always home and i dont do much but go on the comp and watch tv i have depression and ocd i been taking meds n my doc says to excersice but its hard when ur depressed and dont have the inspiration

[hollywoodartchick]

Great video. I agree with everything. I was on a forum for people who were depressed, and most of them really just needed to move away from an abusive family member, get a better paying job, and otherwise find hope that their lives could get better. But instead, they were given drugs, which made it more impossible to get out of depressing circumstances.

[chado2423]

There are just too many THEORIES about depression and not enough EVIDENCE of EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS. Even these vidoes kick into the THEORY that Depression is "energy" based. Seems a little holistic rather than scientific to me.

[psychetruth]

Well, conventional medicine has failed to identify a cause for depression or come up with an effective cure for depression. Part of the problem I think is that science hasn't taken a holistic enough approach to depression.

For instance, there are several known causes of depression which include, thyroid problems, emotional loss, certain drugs are known to cause to depression, certain nutrient deficiencies can cause depression and sometime depression is just an appropriate emotional response.

[psychetruth]

Unless you identity the actual source of the depression and treat the cause, you can not cure it.

But, why bother to cure it when you can make 40 billion dollars a year off numbing the symptoms with antidepressants?

The monetary incentive is not to cure depression because the drug industry would literally lose 40 billion dollars a year if someone did widely publicize effective cures.

[Andromeda1741]

Amen !

[torawfordiz]

are there NE LONG TERM OR SERUCE LASTING EFFECTS

[Tedthethird]

Is lack of anger a sign of depression?

[camouflageX2]

If you are just a peaceful person, then no, I don't think it's a depression.

[sylvab]

He knows his stuff.

[rjohnson1984]

i liked this vid a lot. one piece of advice that helps me sometimes is to remember, "this, too shall pass" no matter how bad it gets. i hope someone reads this who needs it, and it helps someone like it's helped me.

[dojufitz]

Thanks Doc.

[GregRox74]

I can appreciate your standing on drugs but I have a question that is serious although it may sound ridiculous. I am seeing a pyscologist next week through my insurance provider. I have dealt with depression for some time now ( in and out ) but I have noticed the biggest difference since I stopped smoking marijuana daily. I still smoke occasionally, and it is really the only time I feel better. Is this just in my head? Would it be a bad thing to mention when I go in to get assessed?Thanks,greg

[enigmatically]

I think weed can cause depression, I'd stop smoking it, especially if you notice that it is directly related.

[nkosmach]

can you not read? he said it was the only time he felt better.

[tofa22]

I was the same. I started smoking weed almost everyday for a year. And that year was one of the best years I had had for a while. But then my depression caught up on me again and smoking weed made it worse. So I knew I had to stop and sort the problem out some other way. I have not tried anti depressants but it sounds like there side affects are a lot worse than smoking weed. If your not where you won't to be in life you may need to put it down. It depends on the person I suppose.

[modernlifechews]

like this guy.

[28gramzz]

sex is better then exercising.

[Ba101]

Wonderful.

but I have a question. What about bipolar.

Patty Duke's situation, for example.

There is another book out now by someone who says she is "Manic-Depressive" (The book is called "Manic").

[1984willem]

i try to eat good nutrition like extra vitamins, minerals & fatty acids, exercise a few times in a week, sometimes talkingtherapy but i still feel stressed all day.

[1984willem]

I am not happy to say but sometimes I think somebody need these psychodrugs, yes they are overprescribed, but you can do good food, sleep, talking therapy or exercise but still not getting better.

For example like me i have pdd nos, OCD (tics) and had 2 years ago a trauma when my mentally state only getting worse and suffer whit alot of stress all day when i am awake every day again.

[prelan]

Bravo

[naonaken]

thank alot..

Thanks sooo much!!!

[akfuzero]

Dr. john keep it up. people need to hear this!

[scrotertube]

He is a wise man.

[latinguy92]

I am depressed right now,the love of my life

doe not want to talk to me.

[sapphirelotus]

Excellent....thanks for sharing!!

[emzor90]

Is Dr. Breeding a religious man? Just curious.

[psychetruth]

I don't think he really is. I've never really discussed his spiritual beliefs w/ him though.

[jeanna17]

where can i get that book?

[psychetruth]

It's been so long since I shot this video. I can't recall the book he recommends. You can usually find any book on amazon(dot)com but by goggling "book title" and the word amazon.

[todieandwither]

I am curious as to what your views on Light Box Therapy and/or Omega 3's for depression and SAD treatment are.

Great set of videos.

[edertwins]

Very well said. Thank you.

[zurcsurot]

I am diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and this video sure did help me understand my situation better. I've been taking antidepressants for quite some time now and it also did help me get rid of my suicidal thoughts. I highly suggest books by Dr. Robert Schuller: Success is Never Ending Failure is Never Final. In the end it's all about your perspective on your condition. It tends to get worse once you dwell on it more. :)

[lorax2013]

See the video "nervous system health, depression, and the psyche"

[rybroca]

He is right! These feelings are necessary to allow; It feels bad, but it feels good to accept and allow myself to feel this way.

[Chipmunkapublishing]

The PSYCHOLOGY OF HEALING. Not only a great phrase but Breeding actually understands how it works. Very impressive. Write your story about how you healed or want to heal yourself and we will publish.

[bertrand756]

are you talking to people who were depressed and are no longer depressed? Former patients who might have an interesting story about how they recovered?

[harlesckellett]

Cool stuff (Pt 1 and 2). Order that swami a diamond for his belly button now!!!!

[Finders121]

I just can't get off the SSRI's. They have robbed my will to do excercise. I've tried getting off them by slow tappering but the withdrawl symptoms are too much. I've had depression for 8 years now, have no idea why i'm depressed. There is no reason for it, but I am. I'm well off, educated, decent looking, have loving family, well paid but boring job, there are so many people worse off than me who would give their right arm to be in my shoes. I'm ashamed to be depressed as I have no right to be.

[trystwfate]

You sound like me. I have tried many different "solutions" in the last 8 years and they always seem to fall flat after a while. I have been reading a lot about myself (try the Myers-Briggs personality test), understanding various philosophies (Ayn Rand's Objectivism seems interesting) and through this, have understood a lot of conflicts that exist between what I am and well, what I'm not. This does not mean that I have found the solution but I feel like there is an answer out there.

[trhisdone]

SSRI's helped me with my most severe symptoms such as suicidal thoughts but did little to "improve" my depression. I finally found a Dr. who also prescribed a low dose methamphetamine(Desoxyn is the brand name) and it worked wonders. I finally felt normal and even joy sometimes. It can be difficult to find a Dr. who will prescribe it even though it is well known to help with very severe depression because of the stigma that surrounds it because of street meth.

[dreamaz1]

@Finders121 im exactly the same i aint that well off recently got sackked but got a nice house and live in a nice place nice family, i just got it one day when i was 15 im 19 now and its got a whole lot worse i just cant get rid of it itss like everyday is my last and im preparing to die each day now im not even myself around myself im fukked in the head tbh all coz of depresion its ruined my life i h8 it and its worse when at the beggining of depression u dnt no ur depressed :(

[punkfloyd87]

I've been on meds, I've been in cognitive therapy, and nothing has made as much sense as this video.

Medication (SSRI's) generally just gave me a feeling of indifference. For the need to change, which is what I really believe most depression and anxiety stems from, they are totally useless.

[abbaroc]

great vid by the way...very helpful...does ny other depressed person feel less intelligent??? in the sense that you feel less better at things because you can't concentrate.. or a an akward void in your consciousness??? it would be really helpful if you could get back to me.

[trystwfate]

I also feel thought like I am thinking a lot, which is good. But the more you think, the further you seem to be floating from the "truth" sometimes and maybe that's getting to you. And sometimes it's just the weight of the thoughts itself. I feel heavy, disoriented and lost at times. At other times, it feels like I know the answer but I can't get it out. I feel like screaming! Well, we probably just need a medium for expression.

[closetome]

I like this guy!

[AlterEgoTrip]

AS far as a definition of "cognative cure" I see that anything that a patiant can do actively particpate in the healing process, such as eating better, and excersise, as well as new mental perspective. This should be the first line in assisting people suffering depression, rather than the last resort, strong medicines...and even then in rather rare cases. Thanks for posting this series.

[AlterEgoTrip]

Thankyou for posting this, it is very important information for EVERYONE.. everyone must understand how things function. Its horrible to think that people are not willing to give the time to a cognative cure rather than pills, it makes the popularion helpless and unable to cope.

[Yin1015]

I agree with the exercise and in touch with nature parts.Thanks for the videos!

[supermisk]

Be who you are.That's so simple and true. How come I know all that but can't do anything about it?How come I know what to do but am so passive?

[psychetruth]

There was a study a three or four years back that pitted Zoloft against exercise (just 15 minutes, 3 times a week). Both were found to just as effective as one another but a much larger percent of the Zoloft group experienced another depressive episode shortly there after. So the exercise was actually a more stable improvement.

[sleestack808]

Depression causes lack of energy. How can you exercise with no energy?

[jayleeds2006]

You have to push yourself little more and little more over time. You don't have to start wth a hardcore workout at the gym. I ws having problems a couple years ago. I started taking 4-mile walks everyday, thru a woodland park. It really made a difference. It was only mild exercise, bt it was more about clearing my mind. I got better without Rx. I knew this worked for me, bt it was interesting to hear him talking abt how ths wrks in gneral. Frm my experience, evrythng he said n this vid is true.
