There are some small studies that have found the art therapy can help to reduce depression and it's symptoms.  Art can come in many forms, gardening, knitting, drawing, and writing, just to name a few. 
In the frontal cortex of the brain, there are parts that relate movement to emotions and thinking that of course can be related to depression.  The inability to concentrate is connected to the prefrontal cortex, slow responses are related to the accumbens, loss of pleasure is related to the striatum, and negative feelings to the limbic system.  These areas are called the effort driven rewards circuit.  Simply moving your hands, vs. the legs or back, can help to get this system moving again.  This involves the creative movements of the hands and is not related to the use of electronics.

LENS can help the brain to balance out and get the reactive areas under control..  Let's work together to get the brain connected in a good  way..
