Exercise generally helps my depression. I wouldn't say that I noticed results over night however. Exercise seems to have a mood stabilizing effect for me too. Sometimes when I exercise, my brain exposes me to things in my life that I'd rather keep supressed. However, as the exercise progresses, I become more likely to take the initiative to address such issues.
I agree with above posts, in that most people's idea of an exercise regiment is sitting infront of a computer screen all day and then jumping on a treadmill for a few hours. Exercise works better (I think) when it is interspersed into the daily routein. 4 short jogs for 15 min works better for me than one hour long one.
