What is the best advice i can get for battling depression?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Battling Depression: This can be a lifetime process. First, there's good treatment with psychotherapy and medications -- best if both are combined rather than pills alone. You can also ensure you're eating healthy foods; getting enough good quality sleep/rest; exercising regularly; loving others; and also contributing your skills in the world. Avoid alcohol & illicit drugs. Having a spiritual practice helps too.

Difficult : Its difficult to give brief advice on a complex topic but here goes. Talk and get support. Exercise. Get professional help. Try to find meaning and purpose in your life. Nurture gratitude. Structure and stay? Busy with your time. Focus on relationships. Nurture spirituality.
