Interesting. I'm quite passionate about this topic as I recovered from suicidal depression, bipolar and schizophrenia without pharma. Gratitude practices have been tested and shown to be significant in reducing depression, many studies on this. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a7bb/972b39435b0c5481aef88b1ecc7b9eb1bdcd.pdf https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a7bb/972b39435b0c5481aef88b... Time in nature is also shown to fight depression, as found by some Stanford Researchers: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/06/how-walking-in-nature-prevents-depression/397172/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/06/how-walki... I wouldn't recommend trying psychedelics on your own, rather used in a specific therapeutic setting with a trained sitter / guide. There are all sorts of studies on the effectiveness of psychedleic mushrooms on depression or MDMA for PTSD, etc. Maps.org has ample info. For me, I'm lucky that I didn't trust the mainstream Doctors who wanted to put me on antipsychotics or whatever else. And I was blessed to find my way through medical research to find a path that worked. In no small part due to helping Peter Theil launch a startup in the private medical research space -- that experience showed my how very inefficient our medical system is at getting up to date information and practices to folks.
