    I have bipolar disorder, and exercising helped tremendously...but only to a point. I still love to work out, but the depressive side doesn't stay away as long. Idk if that makes sense, but I'm very unstable at the moment. The only thing that truly helps me out is staying busy, my meds, and lots of marijuana.

    I also have bipolar (1) and agree that exercise, health is only part of the picture.

    I was actually formally diagnosed after a period of clean eating and being the fittest I'd ever been. I told all my friends I had cured my mental health issues with exercise. About nine months later I was in a manic psychosis.

    Diet and exercise will not cure all mental health issues.

    You can be doing ALL the right lifestyle things and still crash and burn.

    I also need my meds (as well) or my life is in shambles.
