Long walks (especially with a bit of height) releases endorphins I believe.

Also forces a steady heart rhythm probably cancelling the disrupting effects of depression.

If I could walk I would go back to it immediately. That said depression also fucks up your will to do anything so you need to lose your "self" and bootstrap moving like a robot. Not very efficient method, but the only I know.

Figure of speech, I can't take long walks, swelling occurs for various reasons. I used to move a lot run, job, etc, I know well the effects of physical activity and right now I just cannot.
