to a certain degree it can yes thats why there is therapy . but it only goes so far . when you have chronic severe depressions then you can make any changes or any activities you want it will not go away . needless to say that it is hard for a depressed person to even go and do such stuff anyway .
you are talking about mild depression which can be cured with some lifestyle changes , more sun , more exersize etc. but when the depression is too strong then this doesnt do much anymore . trust me I tried it myself for years
most people dont even know what real depression is like and some are fooling themselves in being "depressed" only because they have some stress or sadness or something

since very early childhood I had bad experiences and family problems . when I was 3 years old my grandma died in front of my eyes which shocked me and not much later we came to germany from turkey . and then my father terrorized us and beat my mom in front of me and often hit me too and he told me things that you dont tell a child etc.
I was seeing a psychologist for the first time when I was 7 or so
but my siblings also had things happened to them and we have the same dad but they are not like me for example . I am sure I am born with certain things . I also dont have only depression but also anxiety especially hypochondria and I also have mild schizophrenia

Feels bad man. I also had quite bad things happened to me during my childhood. One night I was awaken by people (mom, aunt etc) crying and they told me my father died. Afterwards my brother was accidenly killed by car and I found him in the grass near the road all bloody and broken, image which will stay with me for the rest of my life like it happened yesterday. I think I fell into depression, but only for a short time if I remember correctly. I had luck of having a good company and good things happening to me afterwards.

sorry for your loss
well as you see even though you also had bad things happen to you you have been "only" in a depressive phase . if you were born with it (or biologically prone to) you would develop depression and possibly other mental ilnesses too even if nothing at all would have happened to you . when I told my doc that I have had bad things happen to me since childhood he said that nowdays it is known (to docs) that mental illness often is born too and that you (can) get it even when everything in your life went well . thats why people like me have to take medication even if it is temporarily . (but I think I will need to take it for a long time)
