Very important: It is important to establish healthy routines and habits while battling depression. Hygiene, eating, and exercise are just some of them. Depression seeks to shut the system down and limit your world. It is important to do the opposite. It is also important to get help from a trained professional.

But getting yourself going - like getting out of your car and pushing it - can actually get your battery going. Consider what one of the founders of the field of north american psychology, william james, said: "i don't sing because i'm happy; i'm happy because i sing." start doing a few enjoyable little things.
