What are among the worst ways of dealing with depression?

Doing Nothing: The worst thing you could do would be to do nothing. This would include isolating yourself and rejecting help from others. Also, it would be a bad idea to try to self-medicate through excessive alcohol use or illegal drug use. In addition, it is not healthy to engage in other risky behaviors as a way of trying to make yourself feel better.

Not dealing with it: Worst way is denying and refusing treatments. Depression is very common but can be very debilitating without help. Self-medication with drugs and alcohol is another.
