Depending on the diagnosis and the severity of the symptoms of depression, there are several types of treatments that might be recommended by your health care professional.

I usually go in my room and close all the door and start crying because at that moment only crying help me out from this difficult mood.

I focus on my hobbies to swim and climb mountains. My way is to stop remembering stressful things, it's not easy but you have to turn your attention to something that makes you happy.

I will focus and just do what I love, somethings like shopping, buy and go for travel with my buddies, this is how I deal with my depression, how about yours ? Share it out please.

i think you should think less, talk to you more...

As an Occupational Therapy student, our profession mainly focuses on engaging the client or the patient to participate in everyday activities like Activities of Daily living like bathing, dressing, eating, hygiene, etc. We generally work in 3 settings: Pediatric setting, where we deal with children who have special needs like Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorder by giving them Sensory Integration, Physical Dysfunction setting, where we treat patients who have disabilities or illnesses that hinder them from participating in everyday activities due to some sort of motion problems or even paralysis, like Stroke patients, Traumatic Brain Injury patients, Multiple Sclerosis, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and so on, and lastly the Mental health setting or what we usually call Psychiatric setting, where we treat patients who have problems affecting their mind or their way of thinking like depression, schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, and many more.

Now our profession accommodates depressive patients, since these people can no longer function, he or she is not doing anything at all, not eating properly, they sleep almost all of the time, and their Activities of Daily Living like eating or bathing are affected. Our main goal as an aspiring Occupational Therapist, is we address their participation in everyday activities. Occupational therapy interventions or treatment are retraining of Activities of Daily Living; bathing, grooming, eating, etc, Social participation and leisure therapy, since we want the patient to participate, we want to know his hobbies or interest in his pre-morbid state by giving them an interest checklist and be able include it on our therapy, we also do Cognitive-behavioral therapy to change his or her way of thinking so that i would affect his or her overall behavior, Art therapy, and many more!

Depression is not a joke, nor it is to be taken lightly. Depression is very rampant these days, and some of those inflicted with it became suicidal. The feeling of emptiness, loneliness, and hopelessness is very dangerous to our mental health.  If you have friends or love one that you feel that they have this kind of problem, help him or her right away, go to a psychiatrist and ask if he or she needs Occupational Therapy. I hope I somewhat helped you guys. Have a nice day!  

I face depression by looking for a busy life or having a hobby like watching funny movies, gathering and telling stories with family and friends

positive thinking while drinking coffee

The first is to do a lot of exercise, such as running, swimming, or playing football. If i continue to depress, then sing, to KTV screams until i'm hoarse. Under normal circumstances, after this toss, my mood will return to normal after a few days.

when I'm depressed I'm going back on the family, because only those who can assist and entertain you without asking for anything in return,

You have to find happiness on what you have, I know having the feeling of sadness and emptiness isnt easy. It feels like nobody cares about you, seems like nobody is capable of understanding your so called miserable life and you will also start thinking of what is the purpose of your life until you become depressed and wish to just died immediately. Let me tell you that suicide isnt an option so you have to look for your happiness even when you feel alone be strong. If youre not that string enough you can fake it, sometimes faking that you're strong isnt bad because it also makes you strong even if it just for a show. Surround yourself with a lot of positive person they can boost your confidence, yes its peaceful to be alone sometimes but make sure you dont feel lonely because if so it will just make you sadder. Always look on tge bright side.

This includes following a healthy lifestyle, learning how to better manage stress, setting limits on what you’re able to do, and scheduling fun activities into your day

whenever i feel depressed i play my christian songs.

It is necessary to determine the goals and slightly change the motivation ... I have often communicated with people who had the same health problem and they lived and live, only a positive attitude is needed!

I am sorry that you experienced, you know when I'm depressed I'm going back on the family, because only those who can assist and entertain you without asking for anything in return, keep the spirit of live your days fun and think about something positive. You can certainly get through it all.

I just drink alcohol with my close friends and says about what happen cry, shout, mad and after that on the next day I go to the place that make me happy and eat what it. because there's always hope go to church and pray.

I often pressured me by eating something sweet. and confide with my creator to calm my depression.

First, one have to remember those things that make him/her happy, if is going to Gym go to Gym, if it going to play football come on pick up your football boot go to the field and play,any thing that you find happiness in always do it that moment you are depressed it will be of a great help to you.
