The human mind is capable of many things. Have you ever gone for a long walk in the snow on a blizzard's night, with your karate instructor?

Most psychiatrists don't tell their patients to get more exercise, and take up karate, or tai chi. That would be counter-productive for them, you know?
>For you to write a silly sentence like this is to broadcast to the
>heavens that you know nothing at all about anti-depressants.
Neither do psychiatrists know about the minds ability to elevate the body's temperature. Or if they do, they gloss over it and call it an abberation. It's not. It's an aspect of mental discipline.
What aspect (or lack thereof) Depression represents, I don't know, but I know that persons who remain active don't seem to get depressed.
Perhaps it is counter-intuitive.
