At some point the need to get well will outweigh the difficulty of exercising when depressed, unmotivated, even tired to the bone. If a person knew that a pill that would relieve most of the symptoms of depression was locked in a box five miles away, and was given the key, I think he'd start walking. That's not too far from the truth, but most people equate exercise with their "body" and depression with their "brain". The thing is, exercise rebuilds the brain as much as it changes the body.
