Depression: Sometimes drugs are necessary. However, there are things you can do to improve your mood. Regular exercise is one way. Use of light therapy or being in the sun is another way. You should also consider talking to a therapist. He or she can help you deal with the issues that may be causing your depression. You should talk to your doctor about your depression and get a referral.
