Hi Scott,
I recently purchased and read this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Conquering-Depression-Anxiety-Through-Exercise/dp/1591021928/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242458254&sr=8-1So exercise have become a part of my treatment. If you have not read it I can warmly recommend it. It's professional and balanced, it's not claiming that depression is a choice or that exercise is a replacement for drugs. The author does say that in some cases exercise can relieve symptoms fully or partially, and he always back up his theories and claims with a study or a research report.
I'm currently in a depressive episode, and from experience I know that only time can put me in remission, or actually make the drugs work. Currently the drugs do not work, no matter how I switch or combine.
