Has anyone else noticed the odd "coincidence" that depression is associated with -depressive- states such as<p>- sitting around and not exercising
- keeping to oneself and not socializing and helping others
- repeating negative talk outloud
- aimlessness and laziness to formulating a meaningful life purpose<p>Could it be that this "depression" is really a diagnosis of:<p>- sitting around and not doing something for others and the world?<p>We act like there's an abstract or canonical "depression"... but really it is our interpretation of a person's outward expression, action, and contribution.
Though one hour of exercise looks easy, I think that once one is depressed, its difficult to break from the inertia of brooding over life and going to exercise. Here is where a solid family/friends support system comes to play, and is of paramount importance.
