Why do people always respond to depressed people, by recommending visiting a therapist or going to gym? (reddthat.com)

It feels pretty weird to me that people are almost programmed to recommend Therapy or Gym as the ultimate solutions.

Despite the fact that not all people are capable of doing both.

Further more, there is no study, as far as my knowledge go, that show any ultimate cure for depression. Matter of fact I had seen a study that suggest a very high percentage of people are drug treatment resistant (meaning that there depression would not get better with any prescribed drugs).

I had seen studies that say that training or even just daily walks can highly improve mood, but I had never heard that they fully cure depression.

Tell me what's a better option than going to a healthcare professional.
