Sleeping, eating, and working out only do so much and are very difficult to do when one is already fighting depression. You simply cannot tell everyone "just do these 3 easy things" and expect that to work or for people to even listen. While those are critical for people, especially the depressed, it truly mocks the struggle and ignores the underlying issue. Far more important is the issue of work or school utterly dominating our lives, leaving little time to deal with the other stresses in life and even less time to decompress or socialize. Only a massive societal effort to reduce these stresses will make an substantial reduction in these widespread mental struggles.
