[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Medications and especially weed are a crutch. He needs to get his ass to the gym and lift. Best thing you can do is go with him to the gym to encourage him to do it. [/quote]

We have three kids, I can’t go to the gym with him.

Also, as someone who has lifted most of her adult life, I think this is very dangerous advice. Medication does have very real benefits, and a barbell doesn’t replace them. Some of the biggest meat heads I’ve known also suffer from mental illness. One of my good friends is a leading expert in the strength and conditioning field and he struggles with depression.

OK....but is he exercising? At all? he needs to be running, walking, doing yoga, something...ANYTHING. So maybe don't nitpick the well-intended advice by chastising strangers. [/quote]

Yes, he does.

There’s nothing wrong with advice to exercise, my issue is the statement that medications are a crutch and lifting will fix everything. It won’t. [/quote]
