And also can't a person overcome depression on his/her own?
I've never felt depression, the closest i got to depression is that I'm really very sad. We should not take depression lightly and anyone reaching out should be commended and given a helping hand. Such a way to help them is to direct them to a professional. Don't think that you could help by yourself because we are not properly equipped to do such. I've seen people try to talk to someone who is depressed and it became worse and ended up dying.
Suffering from depression means more than just dealing with a bad week or even a bad month. Depression is a weakening condition that can make it impossible for you to enjoy your daily existence. If you are plagued with feelings of overwhelming sadness, loneliness, worthlessness, and cannot imagine that things will get any better, then you may be suffering from depression. To overcome depression, you must need to:

Make face-time a priority.
Try to keep up with social activities even if you don’t feel like it.
Aim for eight hours of sleep.
Keep stress in check.

List what you like about yourself
Read a good book

I can't speak specifically to her situation, but I will shed some light on my experiences with depression.
My Dad suffered from depression for most of my childhood. He was good at covering it up, for awhile. As we grew up it started taking a toll on his work and become much more noticeable. I can't say I know how bad it was or what he was thinking at the time, only the remedy that made a big difference in his life.
He moved from rainy Seattle to sunny Arizona. That alone boosted his morale like nothing else. Some people are really affected by the weather, this is known as SAD (seasonal affective disorder).
Each person is different and has different positive triggers. For my Dad, the sun was a good start. For others, anti-depressants, counseling, exercise, meditating or yoga may make a positive difference. Best of luck to your friend, hope she gets the support she needs.

If you are really a friend whom she can rely on, then prove to her that you will be always there for her, support her and if you can, try to convince her to be check-up by a Psychiatrist after all they're the one who are trained and specialized in helping this types of problems after all this type of sickness is really hard to overcome on our own.

Depression is a very very serious illness which implies not only psychological issues, but also a decompensation of some kind of hormones and other chemical substances on the brain. We can say depression is one of the most difficult illness.
The first step I should advise to you is just to talk with your friend about shes sick, she has a PHYSICAL illness. The point with depression is everybody looks at it as a mental illness only. And this is not true!!!
I believe this is very useful to understand that something is just bad about your chemical brain composition. It can be treated, you can get better. By a phycological therapy or by a psychiatric one.
The bigger problem related to depression is how society sees that. Just try to explain to her shes sick, thats all, she needs a doctor. I call myself deppression "the soul cancer"
Talk to people, read a good book, watch a movie
Overcome depression of the most appropriate was brought themselves to the creator, and pour out our hearts to god, because God, as well as possible helper for his flock of. In addition to that we have to find a flurry so a little forgotten our problems
To fight depression it is very important to get into a proper routine. You must keep yourself busy with whatever you like the most.
I think someone who is depressed needs a lot of support. Especially from people closest to either family, girlfriend or best friend. They need people who can give enlightenment.
But most importantly I think those who experience depression must have religious enlightenment. Increase worship and be diligent to attend religious activities. That's an effective move in my opinion.

Now is the most depressing season (if you are in this part of the world with winter outside of the window). The great problem is the luck of sun. Sounds stupid, isn't? But actually if you will see statistics - people on the north are much more keen to have depression. Try to get some sun, either by going somewhere where you can find it or by buying UV lamp. Once per week, 5 minutes with UV lamps won't bring you cancer and for sure gonna influence on your mood. You can support the process by taking some vitamins (D or D+K). Additionality vit. D helps in bones building. Beside, you can try some tricks with aromatherapy - citrus smells are very energizing, ginger, pepper and lemon grass oils can help as well:)
Base on my experience, to overcome depression I would rather stick to the person that makes me happy. A person that will always make you comfortable, that will listen to your problems or make you smile, in that way little by little you can overcome your depression. Today, I have my own family there are the only one makes me to overcome my depression.

Depression is a serious case that most people are experiencing right now. It is a serious case that we must focus on. To overcome it, we must help ourselves to resist it. We must think of happy thoughts or just keep ourselves busy by hanging out with our friends. We must not feel alone and appreciate every little things that we have.

When you have got a lot of problems, don't solve it and that depress you need to understand that if you will not start doing something to make your life better the depression will never end.

I guess to overcome your depression, you need to be with your family close one or to your closest friends and Husband or wife. Then go with place which you know you are happy every time you visit there. And always think in a positive way and appreciate what God's made for us in this earth/world.
If you are a Christian and believe in Jesus you could tell her about him.
If not, let me tell you that Jesus changed my life completely. There is joy, piece and meaning in life that I did not have before.
Hope this verse encourages you:
Deuteronomy 31:8
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
God bless

It’s hard to overcome depression but you need your family and friends to overcome it. Depression is a serious matter that many people should recognize it and never make fun of it. Because having depression is hard for the person who has it. It may cause suicide that nobody wants to happen to your love ones. So you should talk about or let it out your thoughts and what you so that you wont have a heavy heart that makes you feel depressed.
