Get counsel: First analyze if any external causes provoke your depression. If so, deal with them. Often you might benefit from both counseling and antidepressant medication. Use your support system (family & friends) keep looking forward, not down or backward. Get some exercise. Maintain proper nutrition. Try to sleep the same length of time as before your depression started.

Help for depression: Dr smith's response is outstanding. I very much agree w recommendations for evaluation if indicated & the need to interact w others. There are many things that you can do to lift a depressed mood. A dr can provide treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy or meds but here are things you can do: 1. Exercise aerobically - better yet, do it outdoors. 2. Consider yoga , tai chi or acupuncture.
