Hi All,
To cure depression share your worries with your family members and close friends and engage in daily physical activities. Accept the things you cannot change, practice giving back and try not to worry. Limit alcohol, smoking and caffeine and have proper sleep.

Like I said in the first one you posted - structure and routine are indeed ideal for depression, but it isn't a cure. If it were this easy, we'd all be cured.

There is no 'cure'.. there is only management.

I try to get plenty of sleep. I don't drink if I suspect it's going to end badly. I take walks and exercise. I indulge myself in two cigarettes a day.

Stuff like that helps.

When I'm depressed I don't fight it anymore. I just go with it and let it pass. It's much easier that way.
