Coding is therapeutic especially when you don't have to do it. Besides, its an easy way to enter flow.
"The hallmark of flow is a feeling of spontaneous joy, even rapture, while performing a task." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29
For me coding is definately therapeutic. I'm getting my MD and doing gene therapy research at the same time.
Doing some coding during the weekends make me relax (and angry if I cant fix stupid bugs :P). It makes me totally forget the other stuff so that I can start freshly again on monday.
