I think before anyone ever seeks professional help, they should try to exercise some every day, find a physical hobby that gets them outside and tries to eat well.

I don't mean to sound offensive, and I know you are genuinely giving advice to the best of your ability, and of course healthy living can be beneficial to one's state of mind but as a psychologist I just don't like it when people advise others whom they know nothing about that they diet or excerise is the answer. You don't know this guy, and to say that anyone should delay in seeking professional help ever is not necessarily a good thing to do. I hope that doesn't come across badly, but people who view psychological problems as being due to diet do so because they just aren't familiar with psychological issues.
