The only natural cure for depression, without taking medications or pills or anything else, is physical work. The most severe depression can be cured by harder work – that’s the only thing. Why? It’s very simple. When you are doing physical work you concentrate on what you’re doing and that takes your mind away from the cause of the depression.
