While therapy and antidepressant medication are the most effective treatments for depression, home treatment is also important. There are many steps you can take to help yourself during a depressive episode and to prevent future episodes:\n\nSet realistic goals for yourself, and take on a reasonable amount of responsibility. \nBreak large tasks into small ones, and set priorities. Do what you can when you are able. \nPostpone major life decisions (such as changing jobs, moving, or getting married or divorced) when you are depressed. \nTry to share your feelings with someone. It is usually better than being alone and secretive. \nLet your family and friends help you. \nEven if you don't feel motivated, try to participate in religious, social, or other activities. \nGet regular exercise. \nEat a balanced diet. If you lack an appetite, eat small snacks rather than large meals. \nAvoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs or medications that have not been prescribed to you. They may interfere with your medications or worsen your depression. \nGet adequate sleep. If you have problems sleeping: \nGo to bed at the same time every night and, more importantly, get up at the same time every morning. \nKeep your bedroom dark and free of noise. \nDon't exercise after 5:00 p.m. \nAvoid caffeinated beverages after 5:00 p.m. \nAvoid the use of nonprescription sleeping pills or alcohol, because they can make your sleep restless and may interact with your depression medications. \nBe patient and kind to yourself. Remember that depression is not your fault and is not something you can overcome with willpower alone. Treatment is necessary for depression, just like for any other illness. \nTry to maintain a positive attitude—remember that feeling better takes time, and your mood will improve little by little. \n\nOther Treatment\nProfessional counseling is an important part of treatment for depression. Complementary therapies such as massage therapy and yoga may also help you recover more quickly and improve your quality of life. For information about relaxation techniques you can do at home, see relaxation exercises. \n\nFamily therapy may help you and those who care about you deal with depression. \n\nElectroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may be used for those who cannot take antidepressant medications, who have not responded to other treatments, or whose depression is severe and includes symptoms of psychosis, suicidal behavior, or an inability to eat. 10 \n\nOther Treatment Choices\nCounseling is an important part of the treatment for depression. The types of counseling most often used for effective treatment of depression include:\n\nCognitive-behavioral therapy, a type of counseling that teaches a person how to become healthier by modifying certain thought and behavior patterns. This type of therapy can be provided individually or in a group setting. \nInterpersonal therapy, which focuses on social and personal relationships and related problems. \nProblem-solving therapy, which focuses on the problems you are currently facing and on helping you find solutions to those problems. \nFamily therapy, a type of counseling involving the entire family. \nElectroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may be used to treat severe depression or depression that has not responded well to medications and counseling. ECT also may be a treatment choice for someone who cannot tolerate the side effects of antidepressant medications. Modern ECT treatments consist of mild electric brain stimulation while you are unconscious (under general anesthetic) and are an effective treatment for depression. Side effects of ECT include memory loss and confusion. \n\nComplementary therapies \n\nThe herb St. John's wort has been shown to work for mild to moderate depression, but it can interact with other medications. \nFish oil containing omega-3 fatty acids is currently being studied for possible antidepressant effects. \nSAM-e ( S-adenosylmethionine), a substance that occur

Depression is a veary normal thing to feal. You wouldn't be human if you didn't feel depressed in any way at one time or another. What helps is to do the basic things that depression stops you from doing. Eat a meal, Go for a walk, Talk to some one, listen to some uplifing music, write, take a bath. And if you have a faith pray.

Make sure you're taking care of yourself.  Do some self care, whether your a guy or girl, it can help you feel better.  Get your hair cut, take a long bath, soak your feet, use some lotion on your dry skin, better yet, get a massage!  Take time to let yourself relax and help yourself to realize that you are worth taking care of yourself.  If you take care of things on the outside, you'll feel better on the inside.\n\nYour depression could be seasonal.  Think about spending time outside when it's sunny, if it's ever sunny this time of year.  You could also purchase a full spectrum light bulb at a health food store.  They're usually about seven dollars, but they are so worth it!\n\nMake sure you have someone to talk to.  Try to talk out your problems, but also develope positive friendships.  Get out and do something, even if it's just taking a walk.\n\nTry to control your thought patterns.  It's easy to get in a rut of thinking bad thoughts about yourself and thinking about making bad decisions to hurt yourself.  Feed yourself positive thoughts instead, even if you have to force them at first.\n\nGood luck with everything, being depressed is not fun at all, especially if you've been feeling this way for a long time.  Just remember that you have to be proactive about your mental health.  Don't let yourself lie around and cry all day.  You've cried and moped enough, it's time to try to make yourself feel better!\n\nPS make sure you're eating good food.  Lots of veggies, maybe think about taking vitamin suplements or talking to an herbal specialist.

Start eating more healthy foods  and go to the gym and do weight lifting. It will build muscle and you will gain weight.  Lay off the cardio for now.  Exercise increases endorphins in your brain and help cure depression. Trust me it works.  So you can kill two birds with one stone....the depression and the weight loss.  Try drinking protien shakes if you can enjoy them.  Soy protien is pretty good...better than the whey. And remember....things could always be worse. If we didnt have bad days we wouldn't appreciate the good ones!!  Enjoy your life for what it is, we are not here forever.  Time heals everything in some way or another.

1. Have a positive attitude, no matter what, everyone goes thru hard times.  What defines us is how we handle those trying time. \n True character is built on hard times.  \n\n2. Exercise.  It clears the mind and promotes good health.  Something as simple as a daily walk does wonders for your mental health.\n\n3. Adopt a pet.  I know it isn't always possible but it you can, do it. Studies show that owning a pet reducing a lot stress!  Pets will always be there for you and love you unconditionally!\n\n4. Have a support of people around you.  Isolation can lead to depression, a major mental illness in this country.  Not everyone has family around for that.  Go out and make friends with similar interests as yourself!\n\n5. For me the most important is having faith.  Something to believe in, a higher being.  Seeking him during difficult times gives you hope for a better tomorrow.    Hope this helps.

You might try exercise, if you don't already do that regularly. I've read studies about exercise being just as good as medication for moderate depression symptoms. You can always ask the doctor next time you go for some medical advice, they might give you samples of some anti-depressants in case you do decide to go that route. Good luck and take care!

This will work:\n\nTry a 4 hour job (part time) job; that you don't necessarily LOVE, but you do it for the sake of it, and some money. It may take your depression away forever.

Go get a lot of fresh air, walk or jog. The depression will lift and you'll find something else you'd rather be doing than on the net all the time.

Depression will usually pass. Try herbal teas like camomille and rosemary. have a big goal in life, like what do you want to do in life? Singer, dancer, writer, artist, engineer, geologist, open a restaurant? What is it you want? Don't you want to travel, see the world, live the good life??? Life is a very, very precious gift, we are extremely LUCKY to be here, to be able to live at all. I couldn't be depressed AT ALL knowing that. Life is the best gift of all, and it only lasts a few seconds in the big scheme of things. Good luck to you, hang in!!

Hi, I feel the same way, lost and broken.  You are suffering from depression.  That is the easy answer, the hard part is how to get rid of the depression.  Depression is anger turned inward.  Start by asking yourself Do I feel angry?  If this depressed feeling lasts for more than a few weeks you should see a doctor.  There are 2 kinds of depression situational (the dog dies so you are sad) or chemical depression, one of the brain chemicals is out of balance.  Not a very big deal just ask you doctor.  I wish you luck.  If you want someone to talk to I give great advice, and it is always good to talk to someone.

First of all, you are not alone. Everyone on this planet has their ups and downs. Facing the world seems to be a never ending struggle and frankly, thats the spice of life.....its just the way it is.\n\nI suggest that you do the following:\n\n1. Make a "To do List" it keeps you on track and lets you know when you are slipping.\n\n2. Exercise ( Nothing major!) but do a jog around the block or two, to keep the blood circulating.\n\n3. Eat healthy!. When you are going into a depression(which I think you are) avoid overeating as obesity can hit you when you least expect it. Food can be abused when you are depressed.\n\n4. Socialize by going to gatherings at your university or outside of school such as a focus group on a subject of iterest. It keeps you busy and allows you to interact and make new friends.\n\n5.  Spirituality is very important! go to church, synagoge or mosque or whatever..... it allows you to detach from your problems and connect with your creator. This feeds the soul.

It's totally up to YOU whether or not you survive having Depression. YOU are the one in CONTROL not anyone else. \n\nYOU have to be PRO-ACTIVE in your survival. Learn as much as you can on the subject. Consult your doctor. Make it a TEAM effort with your doctor. Do this for YOU!\n\nSleeping makes me clear headed during the day. It's the NIGHTS that get me going. Can't sleep worth anything. Toss & turn all night long.
