      Explain the flaws you find in their methodology, please.

      Research that exercise helps depression has been steadily coming out for like 20 years at least.

        " as effective as medication"

        No one said that it didn’t provide benefit. Just that it doesn’t provide as much benefit as medication.

          20 might be a bit hyperbolic, but it was about 16 years ago that my shrink gave me a printout of a study showing it.

          You also have to remember that being better than medication long term is not a high bar to clear, statistically, especially for SSRIs.
