Get evaluated: Talk therapy or psychotherapy is helpfull in these kind of situations. Please get evaluated further, your psychiatrist will come up with a plan with your input as what is best needed, as some times medications are needed in addition especially if the depression is moderate to severe in nature.

Support: Through the support of family & friends. Prayer can be very beneficial for some. Find meaningful activities to fill in for voids that are present. See a professional mental health provider if you become too overwhelmed.

See below: Have the depression evaluated and treated by your doctor. The factors that trigger a depressive episode do not influence the best choice of treatment just as how one gets diabetes doesn't dictate treatment.
