How can you over come depression without meds or theorapy?

A healthy lifestyle: Eat nutritious meals in moderation. Sleep sufficiently. Exercise regularly. Also develop sedentary interests that will stimulate and entertain you. Engage in a variety of social activities that benefit your community and allow you to develop relationships with a diverse group of people - mixed ages & circumstances. Build a meaningful love relationship. Repair or let go of prior negatives. Be lucky.

Depression: The natural course of depression is self remission in 6 to 9 months the 6 to 9 months can be very suffering induced and can lead to self harm diet regular exercise socializing with family and friends regular prayer meditation can help ruling out medical causes such as low thyroid or anemia etc avoiding excess alcohol and smoking over the counter aids such as 5 ht although not fda approved.

Depression: It depends on what kind of way you're looking for. Would you be willing to try natural remedies? I prefer spiritual approach where i talk to god in prayer and have a way to pour my heart and get comfort from reading the bible and fellowshiping with other believers. It's worked miracles for me!

Help still needed: There are ways to work on depression that don't involve typical pharmaceuticals, but you need a good evaluation first. For instance, botanical medicines like st. John's wort have good effectiveness in mild-moderate depression, but much less with more severe cases. Also there is aerobic exercise -- as effective as antidepressants. Classical homeopathy with an experienced homeopath can help also.
