I get that you are mostly addressing more serious, long term depression, and chemical imbalances in the brain that contribute to that. I agree with you. And I have nothing against meds. 
I just wanted to point this out, as well.  Perhaps for the more mildly afflicted. |
Yes, you are correct. But diet and exercise do nothing for severe depression. That isn't to detract from their importance though. I am basically prescribed exercise and if I don't do it I am screwed.
I hope the Wellbutrin helps you quit smoking! Sounds like you've been doing well with that? Congratulations!
