I agree that there are too many people who reach for the happy candy ever time they feel sad. If only it were that simple for everyone, but it isn't. Exercising more doesn't cure an overabundance of seratonin, for example. I don't know why you think it would. You should not be attacking people who are trying their best to deal with clinical depression dude.

As to situational depression like I had, that is the one where there is the most if not ALL of the abuse and laziness you're describing, and that's where you and I agree. I can only speak for myself and from what I've seen in other cases I know of. For me it worked, my doctors all thought I legitimately needed it for a time, and I've long-since moved on with life.
