The downside of this wonderfully effective treatment is that most depressed people just don't have the energy or motivation to get up and exercise. Don't try to be perfect. Remember that there are more than 6 billion people on Earth, and hundreds of thousands of them can do even better what you do best. Open up more.

The Macho Marlboro Man would do better to open his feelings up, show some intimacy, and admit that things are not going so well for him. Women outlive us by an average of seven years. Some of this may be not only from estrogen, but also from a willingness to talk intimately to friends about problems-even to admit that they have problems. Laughter is how you release the anxiety you feel about this.
