Abstract in brief
A 24-year-old woman with long-term depression and anxiety, resistant to medication, started weekly cold water swimming after childbirth to become medication-free.
She experienced immediate mood improvements after each swim and a gradual, sustained reduction in depressive symptoms, allowing her to stop medication entirely.
One year later, she remains free of medication and continues to feel well, suggesting open water swimming may be an effective treatment for depression.]

@NeBirgitta Definitely interesting.
I was just imagining the scientists doing this experiment.
Very much a cartoon like impression.
Cryotherapy or even just cold showers appear to be helpful.
Also I found this intriguing paper:
