How can i stop being depressed so much?

It depends: It depends on how severe and frequent your symptoms are. If you have only mild, infrequent difficulties, things like exercise, meditation, and mindfulness practice might help somewhat. Picking up a consumer-oriented cognitive behavioral workbook, available at any large bookstore, could help as well. For longer standing and more severe problems, you should consult with a mental health professional.

Agree w Dr. Raigan: Sometimes a person has a negativistic outlook on life which can lead to low mood. This can be addressed by correcting distortions of how you view the world and yourself. However, if you suffer from a clinical depression than would encourage evaluation by your physician who may refer for psychiatric/ psychological assistance. Take care.
