Exercise. Seems like a lame answer but helps me. Doesn't have to be obsessive to work wonders - a bit done regularly goes a long way.

- austinjp 10y agoI'd echo this, despite recent studies suggesting exercise does nothing for depression. Personally, I suspect there responders and non-responders when it comes to long term relief. However, short-term I suspect it's extremely effective, i.e. in the hours range. It's hard to feel too miserable while lifting heavy weights or smashing a boxing bag.
- baccheion 10y agoYes, it has good effects (at least short-term). High-intensity interval training (avoids burning muscle) or weight lifting are especially good. It also enhances the effects of things like Piracetam and Acetyl L-Carnitine, which in turn enhance capability/capacity during exercise (piracetam helps with oxygen usage, in addition to being a nootropic, and Acetyl L-Carnitine helps with endurance-- so much so that many bodybuilders use the PLCAR form before workouts and the LCLT form after workouts (to speed recovery and minimize the odds of DOMS)).
