My experience is that exercise is as important as
my medication. It could be endorphins or it could
be myriad other hormones and secretory processes
which tend to get out whack in depression. My
guess is that exercise helps train our physiology
to natural cycles of activity, light, and sleep.

It doesn't hurt ones physical health either, but
that concern has never motivated me to exercise!
