I wonder why they didn’t try these things with me before the suggested electro shock therapy?

In other words, please stop. To people with depression this is an insult.

Maybe don't insult people whose experience with depression is not exactly the same as yours?

Because if that stuff helps them they do not have depression, but they are experiencing sadness. They are not the same but everyone in this thread is treating it the same.

We should not be pathologizing sadness.

Gatekeeping depression, really?

Your source does not support your claim ("if that stuff helps them they do not have depression"). In fact, it contradicts your claim since it says "Lifestyle changes can also help you feel better if you’re experiencing depression."
