Time & counseling : If a person experiences depression symptoms in a specific place or with a specific person or situation, but is otherwise well, this is called situational depression. The treatment is to fix the psychosocial situation or avoid it if possible. Counseling helps in life changing events such as divorce or death of a loved one.

Treatment options: Talking with a therapist or psychologist may be helpful to assist you in identifying the issues that are precipitating the depression and helping you to find better more effective ways of coping with the depression. Change your situation if you can, rather than just looking for symptom relief.
