I'm willing to bet - that you wouldn't need to take those damn god awful depression meds advertised on TV 24/7 if ya simply exercised daily and ate right.

On the surface it's logical to assume, "eh, what will getting all sweaty and eating different food change?" - in depth however, it changes a lot. We ARE what we eat, that's a fact. A significant change in diet can bring about a significant change in emotion and overall mental well-being. And it's a fact that exercise calms you down and releases hormones that actually make you feel better (emotionally & physically).

Taking drugs to alter your state of mind isn't natural, it's not healthy.

The best possible thing you can do in efforts to eliminate stress and depression - is to first change to a lifestyle that our genetic foundation prefers. Which research has shown that an ideal lifestyle involves exercising (our bodies are meant to be used, our ancestors who provided us with our genetic configuration were active people) - and a diet that doesn't contain junk food like fastfood and the many other processed foods out there.

Doing this first will "cure" the large majority of people's depression. If depression continues - THEN you can seek help in other areas.
