If someone does all of these things and maintains it for 40+ days; they will feel much better.
Depression is the result of the compounding effects of a series of small, invisible daily choices and can be reversed by small daily choices.
I spent a decade in and out of suicidal depression, and am grateful to have followed an alt path and helped many others to do so.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoThese things definitely help, but the question is how do you get someone started with all of it. It all seems pointless to do for someone with depression.

- ada1981 2y agoYes. Part of the issue is that it's self reinforcing. Once you show this sort of list and accompanying research to someone with depression, it then becomes a choice to stay depressed. You can remind people that are choosing to be depressed, when they choose not to begin doing thing things to build the momentum needed to not be depressed. They may be angry. This is ok, since anger is a step towards feeling the full range emotion which is needed to heal. Anger can lead to greif which can lead to sadness which can lead to joy and gratitude. Depression is about repression or supression of feeling, not feeling the "wrong things".
