No amount of exercise ever helped my lifelong depression. Maybe it's the generic mutation that keeps me from metabolizing vitamin B correctly, or maybe it's the childhood (mostly psychological) abuse, or the need for actual antidepressants and mood stabilizers to keep me from wanting to kill myself.
But sure, maybe fucking jogging could fix it.
Oh wait, it did say "mild" depression. Well carry on I guess.
Well you seem to be doing alright now so there's that.
