> Why are you specifically mad at depressed people for not exercising, instead of cancer patients or hemiplegic stroke victims?

Stop being silly.

I sincerely recommend avoiding attempts at mind-reading, and instead, doing as I've done here, and asking people what they're thinking/feeling, instead of projecting/assuming.

Firstly, I'm not mad at depressed people.

Secondly, it is an EXTREMELY, borderline insultingly rude false equivalency to compare cancer and stroke patients to people with depression. Whilst exercise would help prevent all of the above, and even help in treatment/recovery of stroke and cancer, compared with most DSM axis 1 disorders, e.g. run of the mill depression (which, yes, can be brutal, of course; speaking from experience), say, going for a run for depression = instant remedy, depression extremely reduced if not gone, temporarily; likely coming back shortly if you only exercise the once, but if you do it regularly, there will be an improvement, ranging from suicidal-to-not, to complete recovery. Contrast this with cancer and stroke recovery, and... well, it's just not the same, and I'm surprised anyone would compare the above. Even in the rare cases where it MIGHT not help (never say never), the proportion of: "well, amazing, that definitely helped" to "didn't do shit" re: exercise for cancer, stroke and depression would be quite extreme, not least ode to the fact of the chronological differences between disorders.

I'm a psychotherapist, psych nurse, and someone who has been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and trauma from a young age due to early traumatic experiences. I went on to train to help people.

The tragedy is, these days, mental illness and trauma is a social get out of effort-jail free card, where people are socially excused from working to help themselves because they're struggling, which ultimately harms THEM more than anyone else. I was one of the recipients of this road to hell paved with good intentions, and I would have benefitted from people stressing to me how much better off I'd be if I did many things, including exercising.
