Anecdotally my life experience is that exercise is the best possible way to combat depression. The other day I was crushingly depressed and had been for a week. I went and hit my heavy bag for twenty minutes and came out feeling fine. The effect was profound and easily felt. I don't need a study to convince me further; my lived experience is a superior epistemic method here.
