This is what I'm talking about. The idea that "going for a walk and getting sunlight is good for depression" is so universally unchallengable that I must live somewhere terrible if it doesn't work for me.

Book a two week long float down the middle fork of the Salmon river and let me know how you feel after.

Not that person, but I feel the same way they do.

You're still doing it. Depression has a cause, and effective treatment depends on what that cause is. If it is not one of the things that is made better by going outside, this will not be helpful, and the answer is not "well then go more outside".

I don't have depression but I still feel like that'd make you depressed. Just because something is exciting to you does not mean it's meaningful to everyone
