"why don't you exercise?" is always a valid question tho; unless you are physically incapable of doing so, you should, and you're unquestionably damaging your health if you don't.

Being depressed might prevent you from exercising.

> Being depressed might prevent you from exercising.

Would being depressed prevent you from taking anti-depression medicine? Seeking help from a doctor?

Actually, yes. It's difficult to try and take control of a situation when simply doing all the things necessary to keep being alive is a challenge. Couple that with the social stigma of being diagnosed with mental problems and yes it's completely possible.
