A member asked:

How can i cure my depression without consulting a counselor or taking medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes you can't: Severe depression requires professional help. However, if your depression is mild, try treating yourself well (healthy food, sleep, light-mod exercise), socialize, keep busy with achievable tasks, challenge your negative thoughts & self-criticisms. Maybe also try omega-3 supplements, st john's wort, mindfulness meditation, self-help books, talk to a trusted relative/friend/clergy. Many options.
