Treating depression

[Guest guest]

I, too, was very depressed when first diagnosed. I found, however, that when I

was able to start exercising again (I walk two or three miles every morning)

that the depression was much improved. Several years ago I became very

depressed because my MIL developed alzheimers and I was her primary care giver.

As she became worse, I became more depressed until I had to go on Wellbutrin

just to cope. I discovered then that If I exercised every day, I didn't have to

take the meds.

Fortunately, I can still walk a couple of miles if I don't go too fast.
