I completely agree with you. I've suffered from depression most of my life, yes I'll admit I self medicate from time to time, but living a healthier lifestyle helps 100 percent.  My sister on the other hand is depressed and became a psychotic bipolar bitch. She refuses to do anything unless she gets her meds. She doesn't believe in lifestyle changes, just pills. She has literally gained at least 100 pounds in 1 year, can't walk across the house without getting winded... I expect her to be dead in 10 years she's so unhealthy and she's not even 25.
