Non-Medicine Alternatives for Depression Treatment

I don't see the point in medicated depression treatment when just a exercise, a better environment, and nutritious food might do the job.  For instance, it's a known fact that just going out and doing something physically greatly improves mental health.  Anyway, the medicine they give for depression seems like too much and how do I  know?  Well, I took it in during my junior year of high school.  It was something like prozac.  It really buzzes you up to much and it probably played a role of why I got in so much trouble, lol.

Of course, as of now, I don't take anti-depressants, but the many things I do and the environment I am in keep me from being depressed, but in high school, honestly, it wasn't a good environment because I didn't have a strong image of who I was at the time. I suffered from massive inferiority compexes despite the fact I took martial arts during my freshman year and had some good classes with fun times.
 
I’ve seen people explore several non-medicine alternatives for depression, and some can be really effective. Regular exercise, especially walking or strength training, helps boost mood. Gardening is therapeutic, too. I have seen how people felt calmer just by tending to plants. Mindfulness, meditation, and even creative outlets like painting or writing provide relief. Social connection matters as well; spending time with supportive friends or online communities makes a difference.
 
Faith healing worked for my fathers. After trying faith healing for more than a year, he was able to give up medicines. That was more than 20 years ago and he has not visited his therapist against.
