> When I observe myself in depressed phases and people who suffer from worse forms of depression, usually they do not work out, do not spend empathic time with others and constantly dopamine binge (via eating or other forms of quick pleasure).

Cause / effect. Are they depressed because they don't work or hang out, or do they not work / hang out because they're depressed? And there's bound to be other options as well.

I mean nothing personal, but your comment has energy of "thanks I'm cured"
