I know it will not "solve" every case of depression, however, I really wish people who don't already, would try going outside and/or exercising regularly.
Anecdotal I know, but it seems like nearly every person I know who does both are rarely if ever depressed.
While the people I've known who do struggle with depression rarely if ever leave home.
Again, I know this isn't a catch all for all cases, however, I've seen far too many people turn to meds/substances when lifestyle changes could be all that's required.
It's also a couple of things that only have positive side effects as opposed to most of the medicated approaches people take.
- natpalmer1776 8mo agoDo you think perhaps it is possible that you have cause and effect reversed? When suffering from depression lifestyle changes are HARD, especially when dealing with co-morbid mental or physical illness. Conversely a healthy adult of sound mind and body shouldn’t have too much problem deciding that exercise and going outside is beneficial, then just… doing it.
