Stress is antidote for depression.

You my friend are SPOT-ON! I believe, from personal experience, that the best thing that can happen to a depressed person is to put them in a highly stressful situation, survival, etc., without medication. Believe me, they'll snap out of it!

Stress elicits the primordial fight or flight function and quickly puts things into perspective. Unfortunately we coddle the depressed and give them medications that dull their senses thus exacerbating the problem.
