Exercise
Exercise is a very healthy habit both for the body and the mind. You should start doing some light exercise at home. When you exercise, many hormones as well as neurotransmitters, including dopamine, are released in the body.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that brings a rush of happiness and excitement, and it is also called the pleasure chemical. This release of dopamine can really help you combat against depression and make you participate in a healthy routine habit that will make you feel good about yourself, which is great for depression patients as low self-esteem is one of the major symptoms of depression.
But remember to keep your workouts moderate because intense workouts can cause the release of a hormone called cortisol in the body, which is a stress hormone and has the opposite effect of dopamine.
