Stats are important to look at, but when it comes to analyzing something as subjective as depression and normalcy, self-reported surveys and aggregate analysis of the answers tells very little. Especially after two-to-eight weeks. The results of this study have been spun every which way, and I fear they will prevent people from trying or taking meds. Considering how non-toxic SSRIs are to the average adults, it's better to over-prescribe than under. But, yes, sexercise helps, too. Just not with your therapist.

Increases the endorphine (body's natural opiates) and you'll be happy happy and healthy too.
