Question:
Is there anyone who has beaten depression without medication?
Answers:
Absolutely. 30-45 minutes of daily rigorous exercise has been shown to have similar effects to that of antidepressant medication. Exercise releases serotonin into the brain, which is a neurotransmitter that serves as a mood stabilizer, and is the chemical that is targeted by most of our antidepressants.
Also commit to a healthy diet. Eating unhealthily or emotional eating (eating because you're sad) can adversely affect your mood, and make you feel worse. Antidepressants are a relatively new invention because Americans have become more of a society that has demanded the quick-fix, but a commitment to a lifestyle change can have great effects on your mood. Best of luck to you.
