Medication is an option for someone who's so deep into depression, they just can't get out alone!. It's like throwing a rope to someone trapped in a well - they need a hand just to get up a little, then once they're on a roll, they can do the rest by themselves!.

Once it becomes easy, you'll feel ready to tackle the next thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

all you need to do is ask your self questions and really get to know your self
it sounds redundant but just look at your self in the mirror and make your self laugh or just say I love you it may be awkward at first but it gets easier and it does help

Supposedly, regular exercise is supposed to be just as good at fighting depression as an antidepressant!. If the exercise doesn't help, you might want to try something called St!. John's Wort!. It is an over the counter herbal supplement that fights depression!. You don't need a prescription for it either!.
