However you then say - therapist and physical / behavioral actions.

One practical advise is to do things that are good for you (like excercising...you said you actually know that these things are good for you). You have to do these things no matter how you feel. If you suffer from depression, even things you normally really like won't give you much pleasure. Do them anyway! |
I'm still highly sceptical of the serotonin explanation. I remember the days when they were trying to explain depression by referring to cortisol fluctations. Medical science is still very poor in explaining psychiatry despite the plethora of jargon and impressive terminology.
