There are lots of things people can do to overcome depression. For examples, regular exercise helps to create positivity in life and improve mood. Getting enough quality sleep on a regular basis, eating a healthy diet and avoiding alcohol (a depressant) can also help reduce symptoms of depression.
Depression is a real mental illness and help is available. With proper diagnosis and treatment, the vast majority of people with depression will overcome it. If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, a first step is to see your family physician or psychiatrist. Talk about your concerns and request a thorough evaluation. This is a start to addressing mental health needs.

If someone is feeling depression. I think he/she needs the guidance of his/her family and friend. She needs to feel that he/she is not. alone. He/she needs the support of the family and friends.

Hi,

I've also experienced depression before but I've entirely overcome it when I got a job and got promoted. I think depression has certain levels depending on its root cause because, in my case .. It disappeared when I felt that, I still have purpose in life and I acquired acknowledgement (respect) from the people around me especially my love ones. Maybe depression commonly occurs based from our bad experiences and how other people show love, care and respect to us.

It's not always about being with someone who could listen to you. It's about, how you will find yourself worthy in eyes of other people.

overcome depression by repenting to God and religion. there must be someone who always guides him for the right path.

The simplest way to deal with depression is to be happy in your social life and business life. medical drugs can also be used as a method when psychological solutions do not work. All solutions are in people brain.

It's never easy to overcome depression. Be with your friend always let her know that you're always there for her. Listening is one of the best way to help your friend.

Your friend can overcome depression only if your friend is mentally strong. We all knew depression is the hardest battle a person might ever face because it involves how we think, and so sometimes it can lead to death if not handled properly. Your friend self is the only one that can help himself/herself, so while it is still early, make him realized that life is so precious. He/She must realized that everything won't end when he/she dies, but, it is just passing the pain he/she feels from another person!

I think the best way to overcome depression is to recollect or rethink on what is your purpose here on earth. You just need a break from reality, you need someone who you can talk with and share you feelings, heartbreaks, and problems. If you do not have family or friends to talk with there is God who is always willing to listen all day and all night. Tell Him whats your problems and go to sleep and I am sure tomorrow all of those things will be lessen and gone. Just don't lose hope because He will not give us problems that we can not overcome.

Depressions aren't all the same, just like people aren't all alike. About a third of depressions will lift on their own after weeks or months with no intervention. Another third benefit somewhat from treatment, but not enough to lift them out of their depression. Finally, there is an unlucky third group that won't respond to conventional treatment at all.


There are a number of things you can do to help your friend out:

- Physical exercise, from walking and on upwards, is one of the most effective means of combatting depression, and has been shown to be just as effective as antidepressants (for mild and moderate depressions -- severe clinical depression can be so damning that an affected person might not even respond to questions or orient towards a speaker, never mind get out of bed.

- Make activities easier for her to do. Like some wise man said a couple of posts above, doing this will always help. But its unlikely that she will initiative such things herself. Perhaps you could buy some movie tickets and bring them over to her in your car/carshare, so all she has to do is roll out of bed and into the taxi.

- Meditation helps many people with depression, because it enables you to view your emotions at a distance, rather than as a permanent part of yourself.

- Even being in nature for small amount of time seems to help.

- Some depressions are aggravated by diet, since your gut has more than 100 million neurons which also produce neurotransmitters relevant to depression, including serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and GABA. Eating healthier can have a rather large effect rather quickly.

To overcome depression don't let your depression control you if you are under stress or depress confess to your friend and let them know behind your depression and cry it to them. but their is a people who experience depression when they think no one wants to listen to them, no one wants them in this world, for short they feel depress because they think no one loves them. So that we should help them to overcome their depression.

Depression now is easy to avoid,  all you need is to talk somebody if you had a problem.  Talk to your family.  Because their is no problem that solve if you ended your life.  Life is amazing,  all you need is to be enjoy your life. Just forget the problem,  forget the depression.
