Not medical advice: Sometimes a powerful spiritual experience can help depression. I’d say go to like some super old religious worship (I.e not evangelical American one), like an Orthodox Church one with the smells and bells or something. Maybe like a Muslim service, with lots of chants and what not. Doing stuff like that after fasting would also make your mind be in a different place where it could have a big effect. Though if that isn’t someone’s thing it might still be a spiritual experience, but it might be a fearful one? Psilocybin maybe? Could also have a bad spiritual experience on that but I’ve heard many people say they have a good one. I wouldn’t consider doing that unless you were able to be safe and secure doing it. I know there are material causes of depression, but it doesn’t change that it is a dark spiritual place. (Like if someone drew a painting of their soul while in that dark place, well it would probably be dark). I don’t know what material changes happen when people go to a brighter spiritual place, nor always how to get there, but when people do get there; sure enough the material things will have changed (new neural pathways???) Essentially when people are in that dark place, everything they see is dark. Their friend is getting married, and they wonder why am I not. A friend gets a raise, why didn’t I get a raise. A good book to read I’d say is “Learned Optimism”
