If a patient truly doesn't want to get better, medicine is powerless.

I don't argue, Nebku definitely needs to pull himself out of this mess, and it will require just as much effort on his part. But the very visit to the doctor is already the first step towards recovery.

It's better to sign up for boxing or at least go to the gym.

While having a hobby (whether it's sports or, say, drawing) is a good way to distract oneself from unpleasant thoughts, it won't solve the problem on its own. And I think going to the gym will only add to Nebku's distress.
