When I’ve been depressed, here’s what worked for me.
1) long walks in nature
2) eat well
3) sleep (If necessary get a prescription for trazodone, they’re cheap $7.50 for 90 pills)
4) antidepressant meds
- m-i-l 8y ago> "When I’ve been depressed, here’s what worked for me. 1) long walks in nature" Interestingly "Doctors in Shetland are to start prescribing birdwatching, rambling and beach walks in the Atlantic winds to help treat chronic and debilitating illnesses for the first time. From Friday [5 Oct 2018], doctors working in the 10 GP surgeries on the islands will be authorised by the archipelago’s health board, NHS Shetland, to issue 'nature prescriptions' to patients to help treat mental illness, diabetes, heart disease, stress and other conditions."

- tomatocracy 8y agoYes. I would add that it's not just "in nature" that's important (and it is) but also "walks" - physical activity, even light physical activity like walking, can be a huge help to some people in combating stress and depression (but of course, everyone's different so these aren't completely universal).
