If I might add to what Aladdin Sane said, I know people who are much happier on medication, and (possibly as important) the people AROUND them are happier too.
While I'd personally recommend exercise over meds, exercise takes awhile. Meds in the meantime could be a useful adjunct--kind of like when you break your arm, you don't wear a cast for the rest of your life.
I can tell you from personal experience with family, that booze will make matters worse.
