DEPENDS: It really depends on the severity of the depression. We are talking about the disease of depression and not just the transient emotion. If mild you may consider therapy. Also exercise and good sleep and eating habits can help. If moderate to severe the best treatment is medication and therapy. Talk to your physician to help decide the best approach but do not wait for it to get out of hand.
