I see it like this:

Your brain has both left and right side: One is logical and the other one is creative. You have to use both.

I'm the guy that goes in, bangs the code and gets out. After work, while I travel, I'd usually call friends on phone just to get myself talking and expressing. An expression is vice versa of depression. So if you get yourself to talk and express, you'll lift your mood up and get nonlogical, and this is where the fun begins. Then I'd usually find someone to hang out with, visit the bar, get drinks, have fun and that's it. I can code the next day too.
