Good advice, worded terribly.

Severely clinically depressed people -- that would be me, and a lot of other folks here -- don't just lay around doing nothing because they're lazy asses. If you're sad because your girlfriend broke up with you, you can get over that with some of the means you're suggesting. If you're sad because you've been physically or otherwise abused, repeatedly, (that would be me), and because your brain chemistry isn't in the shape "normal" people's is in, exercise don't do jack. Meds help. Therapy helps. We're not self-indulgent freaks, we have an illness as real as bronchitis or pneumonia or strep throat.

You might want to rethink how you state things, not to mention how you judge people.
