Only want to chime in here for folks to not feel bad about also getting help beyond physical fitness and diet.
I've been a health junky my whole life, very in shape, and I eat well.
Of course that helps my mental health a lot.
However, I still get depressed. I suffer from chronic sleep apnea (it's related to my anatomy, so I can't exercise out of it, it's around 79 AHI). I take zoloft for anxiety and it has helped me to calm down and enjoy my life more.
And finally, I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm fairly high functioning without meds, but with meds I can finally do all the things I've wanted to. My todo list, those things I used to forget or put off, I just do them now.
So yes, take care of yourself, but don't feel bad if it doesn't solve everything. Some of us need extra help, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. I understand you weren't shaming folks, but I really want to share this in case folks think they're broken for needing medication.
And sometimes you need the help from medication to kick-start being more healthy physically, don't be ashamed! We are all different.
