I don't drink if I'm feeling depressed, because alcohol is a depressant.

Better to exercise if you're feeling depressed.

Alcohol is a depressant but that doesn’t mean it makes you psychologically depressed. It means it depresses your central nervous system—less anxiety, slower brain function and more.

Now, it may make your particular depression worse. But, when a chemical is called a depressant it doesn’t mean it makes people depressed.
