On November 15, a social media user shared a post stating that the “cure” for depression is leaving home as much as possible, even when you don’t want to. As of November 20, the post had garnered over 20 million views and 370,000 engagements. Many comments encouraged people experiencing depression to spend time outside and socialize more often. Some, however, stated that the post did not understand depression and that some people may benefit from at-home coping tools.
