Here's some more info:
http://www.drhamlinemory.com/articles.htm> You said that exercise didn't help you. May I ask which exercise you did? Some exercises don't help my mood much, although I know they are good for health in general. I tend to need sustained cardiovascular workouts. I need to get my heart rate up for at least 30-40 minutes in order for it to provide an antidepressant effect. I used to notice the mood-transforming effects pretty quickly, but now it takes between 20-25 minutes before I feel anything. My depression is much worse these days (that's probably due to my unruly hormones), so I seem to need more exercise, and the first half of the exercise routine is pretty difficult. Often, I feel like such a slug for the first half. By the end of the second half, I'm always glad I put in the effort. But I do feel like Sisyphus. I wish there were an easier, less time-consuming way.
I take a 1-hr. all-around exercise class that includes aerobics, weights, crunches, etc.
I.
