He seems to be doing/feeling a lot better.

Let's say I'm talking to my brother when we see a friend who we haven't seen in a while and who we know is/has been struggling with depression but when we see him he seems to be in a very good mood. What would be natural to say to my brother about the friend:

He seems to be doing a lot better.

Or

He seems to be feeling a lot better.

?

Either one is fine. "feeling better" seems to be a temporary condition, but "doing better" might imply that his medications are working.
