A BBC report today reports that research suggests combining exercise with conventional treatments for depression does not improve recovery.

For me its a vicious circle - during the deepest part of my depression i would not move from bed never mind walk out of the door. So exercise was the last thing on my mind. Slowly I started to exercises indoors before starting to run.
But even with exercise and a healthy diet pounds piled on due to my medication. The additional weight ruined my already low self esteem.
Medication stabilises mood but the side effects of weight gain are depressing. I think exercises improves confidence but there are a lot of hurdles to cross before taking the step.
