Not necessarily. Lifting is great for depression but not all causes. Sometimes you have something else up there that needs fixed. Maybe it’s ptsd and you need therapy, maybe it’s a different kind of chemical imbalance, maybe it’s gender dysphoria, maybe it’s insufficient social fulfillment, etc. Keep lifting, but also start seeking new treatments with it.
