It’s a wonder what simply walking outside does for your mental health. Good on him.
It’s not for everyone (as noted by that other commenter), but when I was in a bad place mentally, I was listening to a podcast and one of the guys said that whenever he was in a really tough situation, he’d go for a 30 minute walk before making any decisions and then when he’d had time to consider everything, he’d often have some idea where to get started fixing things. So I started going on walks listening to that exact podcast. Helped a lot. It’s a double whammy, too. Not only do you have time to yourself where you can think about things (in my case while listening to the podcast because I have ADHD and just my own thoughts all at once are a bit too much, but when I’m also listening to something, I get less of it), you also get the happy hormones from physical exercise and fresh air.
Pros:
Cons:
oh boy, surely you haven’t been outside in a city lately?
I feel for you buddy, leave the big cities it isn’t bad everywhere
Nah, I’m good. I prefer the better access to healthcare and culture that the city affords.
I see what you’re saying, I’m from a nation of 5 million in Europe so we get the benefit of great benefits, education and healthcare while our capital only having 500ish k people. In terms of cultures. Big cities will always have more fun stuff

I’d be careful to say what it can do for your mental health. I tried to make it work for me, but it always made me feel worse because it gave my mind time to ruminate on bad memories and feelings. I would’ve stopped doing that to myself sooner had I not heard that exercise = good feelings without caveats.
Oh, I’m definitely not saying it’s a cure or anything for mental health. Just that it’s amazing if it does work for you.
It definitely works for me. I go hiking regularly.
Maybe going outside but with another human to distract you could help?
