I don't think that was costcopizza's intention. As someone who has struggled with severe depression for a long time, I can attest to his suggestion being helpful. It can be incredibly difficult to do, but obligating myself to various volunteer opportunities (usually by making the commitment during rather well feeling day/moment/episode) has helped immensely. For me it helps to take my mind off my own problems, and even if only temporary, it's usually helpful.
