Yeah exercise never helped with my depression, not in around 40 years of living with it.

Yes. In fact I've spent a lot of time trying and failing.

Oh I'm as good as is possible. 7 medications, something for my DNA mutation, and therapy. I only think about death and not about dying when I go to sleep at night. It's the best.

Same, I've battled chronic depression since 1989 and exercise has had a nominal effect. That said, what the studies seem to suggest is that a lot of core/ab work, as well as vagus muscle work, seem to help. So not just regular excercise.
