I haven't but was going to. The boxes start at $200. The aerobic exercise you are already doing is the best defense. It doesn't work for moderate to severe though where meds might be necessary.
My rule of thumb is if you think you "might be" depressed go see your doctor. But I totally get that people don't and when I was I didn't. Until I got the book Feeling Good and took their test that rates your depression. What I thought was mild depression was severe. I'd just had it for so long I'd forgotten what normal was like, my baseline was way off.
