Well its like the nature walks, the studies showed it can have a better affect than depression meds. Or an amplified affect with both. Humans evolved along side nature and now don't live in it, our reptilian brain still enjoys it.

Sure that might be true. But neither "fix" your depression. Just as pain medication won't fix your broken leg. It will only make living with it easier.
To me this post resembled the shitty "just be happy" mentality depressed people often faced back in the day.

Depression is complex, but nature, walking, the sunshine, the chance interactions and exercise are shown to increase mood chemicals in the brain.

The only thing keep on the whole world from feeling depression is brain chemicals.

To me Depression is a symptom of a broken societal model. We no longer live as communities, we dont feel protected, we dont celebrate daily/weekly with family and close knit circles, we don't have a sense of accomplishment with modern work and life imbalance. We need to fix that before depression starts fading out of our societies.
