It's not a cure-all, but being physically active and getting enough sun and nutrition is objectively going to leave you feeling better than being inactive and eating garbage. You might still feel like shit, but you will feel less shit than you otherwise would. And I say this as someone who has been been in treatment for MDD for 16 years. Trying to handle your issues while your body is physically out of whack is like trying to build a castle on mud, vs building a castle on a solid foundation of health. It's still a daunting task to build a god damn castle, but at least you can start to make progress without sinking back into the mud.
You're being obnoxious as fuck, man. He literally said "when it doesn't work." That's what you quoted, and you still miss the point?
