Get outside, get some fresh air and sunshine with some exercise and most people will feel better- some better than they will from talking to me. Even if the client has a bona fide depressive disorder (versus just being disgruntled or overly stressed, which are normal parts of the human experience) regular exercise will usually help at least some. Your overall health will improve, your sleep will improve, your waistline will improve, your bones wil improve, your muscles will improve. And a walk is inexpensive. Our grandmothers knew what they were about when they told us to get out of the house, go play outside and don't come back until lunch time. |

I believe that I had mentioned that I just had cataracts removed from both eyes and based on the recommendation of the "eye doctor" I had one done and then when healed - a month later - had the other one done. The doctor was really emphatic about no exercise, no jumping around, no lifting anything heavier then 5 kg., and as a result I simply sat for two months. It was noticeable that not only did I lose a lot of stamina but I also found myself being disgruntled enough they I had to make a very distinct effort not get upset with things, and people. :-) Since I'm "back on my feet", and exercising, I find myself much more calm about things. -- Cheers, John B. |

I find it strange that because exercise and fresh air make depressives feel better they avoid it. |

I think that you and I had exactly the same procedures and exactly the same orders and exactly the same results. But I'm now a little over 3,000 miles and feeling a lot better. I can even make fun of Frank without really meaning it. |

I went off him when I discovered that his idea of a gourmet meal was a hamburger. He died at 52 while out jogging. Not exactly a recommendation. Andre Jute Beware the fads: fashion can kill you |
