Thank you so much for this thoughtful reply! I love that you aren't shying away from activities and cannot wait for that to be me. I think I will be hiring a personal trainer to get started to make sure I have a good solid foundation and don't hurt myself.

Can't wait to participate more in this section of the board!

"Dear?"

"take as much carbohydrates as you can. They are the real source of fats."??

What are you even talking about? Do you have any experience or awareness of the bariatric community? Or are you just spouting whatever comes to your brain out at us?

Dear, what you need to control your weight is to focus on your diet plan along with exercises. Diet has major impact on overall body mass. i will recommend you to take as much carbohydrates as you can. They are the real source of fats.

I have seen people who gave up their antidepressants for running end up in the hospital after having attempted suicide, some of whom did so after having attempted that advice after reading memes and posts on the internet about it. Depression and bipolar disorder are serious mental illnesses with fatal consequences. Telling people to not take their medication is dangerous at best, and lethal at worst.

Happiness in research refers more to a personality trait than to depression vs. non-depression, particularly in social psychology. It's not referring to a mood or mood disorder, typically. Unfortunately none of the articles you link provide empirical proof about clinical disorders. Don't get me wrong - some antidepressants are little better than placebo in some cases. However, many are exceptionally effective, particularly those that have come out in the past 10-15 years, and many give a majority of individuals a reasonable chance at being functional human beings with their use. Having said that, I'd be happy to consider any research that is empirical and peer-reviewed, as that is stuff I can pass along to clients if it has adequate validity.

Can exercise help mental health? Abso-freaking-lutely. It is very good especially for anxiety and ADHD. However, everyone I have treated with mental illness was never able to cease their medications.

The problem is that telling someone with clinical depression or bipolar disorder running and exercise will fix them is dismissive. That's like telling the obese women losing weight will make her pretty or fix her thyroid - it's fundamentally wrong. it's like saying to someone with cancer, hey, jog more and your cancer will go away. Mental illness is often caused by structural changes in the brain which alter how it uses neurotransmitters. In many cases, fitness and diet changes *can* cause drastic improvements, however they cannot often cure true depression. Additionally, more people than you might imagine have survived trauma, and no exercise can fix trauma because it's complex and has life-long consequences.

Can some people come off antidepressants with exercise and diet? Rare, but it happens. There have been captivating studies out of Israel about ketogenic diets and bipolar lability, however I would still not suggest people cease medications randomly, or that diet can prevent mental illness for everyone.

So absolutely, exercise. It's superb for the brain and body, but it is not a panacea that means you can give up antidepressants. A whole variety of factors cause that when it's able to occur.
