> I have yet to meet a depressed person or almost any person who couldn’t use more community.
Depression is known to cause this. Yes, it’s not that simple. But this reasoning is extremely dubious.
> The people I know who overcame depression all did the following: worked out, improved sleep patterns, joined some activities.
All the people I know who graduated high school got married and had children. Maybe we should encourage people to get married and have children to increase the graduation rate!
Sarcasm aside, this reasoning is just beyond dubious. Do you know what the symptoms of depression are? Are you familiar with the very basics of what depression is? All of the things that you described that people overcame are actual symptoms of depression.
Or maybe to abuse another analogy—everyone I know who got over chicken pox stopped getting those pustules. That doesn’t make “stop getting pustules” actionable advice!
