Medication is not the only way to treat depression. One of the most effective ways is exercise (or as Marjory states-motion). I would urge all persons afflicted with depression to get into an organized exercise program. If non is available do it in front of a TV exercise program, or buy a good low impact tape. I understand that one of the national organizations has a booklet available that has good exercises for PWP. Maybe someone could put the name of the organization on the list. Jerry Starr, RPh
