>To tell someone with bipolar disorder (BD) or a severe recurrent major depressive disorder (MDD) that exercise will relieve them of their depression is to sabotage their treatment and possibly bring them closer to reaching a point of hopelessness.
I don't know what you would consider recurrent major depressive disorder. Perhaps I don't fit your critera. I suppose repeated suicide attempts might be sufficiant, maybe not. To tell an individual that exercise will be their cure might be misguided, but to take exercise out of the equation, and to throw that tool out of the chest, would be a mistake in my opinion.
