The $25 Billion Reason Your Doctor Won’t Prescribe the Best Cure for Depression
Exercise is one of the most effective treatments for depression, but doctors rarely prescribe it. The reason isn’t medical — it’s financial. The $25 billion antidepressant industry has no incentive to promote a free, self-administered cure. Meanwhile, depression biologically destroys the motivation needed to exercise, creating a cruel trap. Understanding this dynamic lets you reclaim agency and stop blaming yourself for a system designed to keep you sick.
