What's a good way to cure depression or at least make it a smaller problem?

Therapy/self-care: Therapy will help -- ask your primary care doctor or call your insurance about a mental health provider. Things that you can do on your own -- try to establish routines, sleep hygiene, small achievable goals, look for positive aspects of the environment -- do a summary at the end of the day -- best thing that happened, the things i laughed at, etc. To bring you a sense of joy.

Diminish depression: I agree w dr. Fox. Do have your family physician evaluate you for possible medical causes contributing to your depressed mood. He or she can also assess to see if you have an actual clinical depression. Some basics- aim for 8 hours of sleep per night.. Get daily physical activity. Eat healthfully - 5 servings of veggies and 4 servings of fruit per day. Don't isolate - spend time with others.
