How do you cure depression?

Answer 1

There are many ways of helping to get rid of depression. However, the first thing you should do is see your doctor. They can give you a lot of information on the subject and are the people most able to help by referral to therapists, providing medication and generally assisting in treatment.

• Some people just need to talk about it with a friend or trusted person, some need therapy.
• Others may need medication to assist.
• Some can get through it by finding things they like to do and doing them, keeping themselves too busy to worry, or avoiding the things they know make them depressed.
• Music has often had a good effect on depressed people, and can help a lot.
• Symptomatic treatment (fixing the results of depression, not the causes) can also help: most people with depression have bad sleep patterns or sleeping disorders. Fixing those will certainly help.
• Several simple therapies and herbal treatments have been shown as a positive effect in treatment.
