You can: start w a medical eval. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or insight oriented psychotherapy can help. Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Get at least 8 hours of sleep/night & eat healthfully. Daily aerobic physical activity is a big +. Try acupuncture, tai chi, qi gong, yoga or meditation.

Seek Therapy: Depression is a serious matter it is not just sadness or feeling blue. I am sure you have tried everything you know so why not seek a therapist who specializes in this to help you? A therapist is a problem solver to help you identify why you are depressed and how to develop coping skills that work for you. You deserve to feel better.
