is there anyone here who has gotten treatment for depression who can like tell any like good advice that they were told by their therapist
depression is one of those things that don't have a definite cure
what might've worked for someone else, might not work for you
the first step is to make sure you're feeling well physically (eat healthy, exercise, etc) and to avoid alcohol and drugs
some people find help from alternative and natural treatments such as meditation or acupuncture (also spirituality)
i'd suggest looking into herbal supplements e.g. st. john's wort, SAMe and fish oil (and omega 3 oils in general) but make absolutely sure that none of these interact with any medications you might be currently taking (st. john's wort is notorious for clashing with many meds, especially SSRIs)
if your mood is still persistently depressed, i'd suggest psychotherapy (and depending on the severity, maybe even medication)
