Are there any alternatives to anti-depressants for severe depression and anxiety?

Doctor's Answer

Thank you for your interesting question and I'm sure its a problem that many of us face these days. Sadly, you are not alone and if you scratch under the skin of most people, they will be having similar issues, but they may have been brave enough to seek help.

I won't try to replicate Dr Ethan's excellent post, but I was reading through and I thought I would add a line about exercise.

You see, exercise has been proven to be an effective treatment in mild-moderate depression, either as a stand alone treatment or in conjunction with others.

I know it seems like an epic amount of effort to exercise when things do not seem to be going right around you, but please do consider it.

I hope you start to feel better soon.
