Does any addiction make already depressed people less depressed?
- piggybox 4y agoAddiction to comedy shows?
- inkcapmushroom 4y agoMany stories from people "addicted" to exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Chasing the high of feeling good and looking good can be a positive self-centered motivator which can help people lift themselves out of depression. Anecdotally I know a couple of people who have gone from severely overweight and depressed to running dozens of miles each week, and the way they talk about it definitely sounds like an addiction to me.
