  1. Lex Fridman has opened up the human mind by allowing great thinkers like himself to express their views on his vocasts. Here is the number one thing that erases depression. The disclaimer I have to offer is that I am not a health worker; I am an artist/musician. What will reduce depression to bread crumbs is to go for one's greatest challenge. The caveat is that this turns off people in droves because your mind must goes on a different train track in your head for it to work and it's uncomfortable for a long, long time. But it works. It works to eliminate non-essential things from the mind that tear us down because if you truly go for what is your greatest challenge, you have no time or energy left for the inner-voice, or internal witness or one's auto-critic to do its dirty number on one's state of mind and sense of self-esteem among a long list of other zones. Lastly, it's hard to do; it's hard to do one's best because of how much it takes out of you. But it's a trade-off isn't it? Stay the same and you go down to your socks once again: go for what will make you think you're great and it will use up every drop of your energy to get you there and leave behind the negative things that used to bring you down.
