Not everbody with severe depression is low in energy. Severe suicidal depression can exist completely independantly of any psychomotor retardation.
If a person with severe depression was capable of exercise I would recomend trying it first.
Antidepressants have a degree of toxicity and potential for dependance, they can also poop out. Many people with severe unipolar depression don't see results with an antidepressant for a few months anyway.
Remember, we must not start this argument under the assumption that antidepressants work flawlessly.
