Hi Josh. My mom suffers from cronic pain and depression, and she seems to find yoga very helpful. I too suffer from clinical depression, and hope to be off my medication soon. It really helps me to spend a lot of time outside and to get lots of excersice. Its so hard to get myself to do it, but it really helps. I also have cats, which lift my spirt and bring me comfort on those days were I can't even get out of bed. I also recomend eatting well balanced meals, and avoiding processed sugar, that helps me a little.
I'm in a similar situation as you, and feel that there must be a better way to treat my depression. So good luck to the both of us!
