Actually, it is quite different. It's more like arranging a depressed person to be forced to walk through the woods for 5 minutes to go to the bathroom. It won't heal everything on its own and they may resent it, but it will mechanically combat their depression.

I love that idea. I wish I had a big enough piece of forested property to try that out. Put the kitchen in one place, bathroom in another, and bedroom in a third, all five minutes walking distance apart.

I could probably still find ways to defeat it. But maybe it would help.

Mini fridge in the bedroom and just pee outside on the forest floor. :)

Did the math, it is entirely plausible. ~2 acres, in the shape of an equilateral triangle, would do the trick. Expensive to do near a major metro, but in many places not terribly expensive. And in today's world of work-from-anywhere-starlink-works, a motivated individual could make this happen.
