>Physical: you force yourself to do things, you don't feel anything but suffering

Not necessarily. There are physical changes when you exercize which also help with a physically-induced depression. The same is true for diet.

Just because it's psysical as opposed to situational doesn't mean it's just up to drugs and drugs alone to cure it.

What are you even saying? It doesn’t change anything but yet it does in fact change something?

No, that's what you're saying - I'm not sure where your rephrasing comes from, as it doesn't correspond to anything I've written above.

I'm explicitly saying "it" [that is, forcing yourself to do things, like get in the sun, exercize, sleep less, better diet, etc.] does change something psysiologically, and does help, even in cases of non-situational depression.

The grandparent comment claimed that this helps only in cases of situational depression.

In other words, don’t believe your lying self.

exercise does not work for endogenous depression.

at times even things like morphine have been tried.
