Treatment Of Depression 

Does not help to tell the person who is suffering from depression that he should remember all that is good in his life, nor to "get yourself together". But you can do much to cheer the person who is suffering from depression, or seek professional help for severe depression.

Exercise 

While you exercise you're focused on your body, that way you are relaxing from the difficult feelings and thoughts.If you exercise intensely enough, your body will begin to erupt endrofine, which can act on the brain and fix your mood. 

If you still do not exercise, start easy, quick walk of half an hour at least three times a week. When you get used to exercising, think about something more challenging, such as aerobic exercise.Activities involving other people, such as tennis or team sports may be better than exercise alone. For example, swimming - when swimming can still be occupied with bad thoughts. Be careful not to overdo the exercise, the goal is to relax is not to get exhausted.

Diet

• You might find it easier to eat several small meals a day instead of three large
• Fight the desire for on sort of food - such as sweets or cheese - by eating several small balanced meals
• Occasional small pleasures such as chocolate ice cream or french fries can make you temporarily feel better.Chocolate contains a substance which is believed to make you happy. But avoid frequent consumption of these foods.
• Do not run towards alcohol.It will perhaps help you feel better for a while, but at the same time acting badly on the central nervous system and increases depression
• Limit your intake of caffeine. Excessive amounts of caffeine can increase depression.

Relieving Stress

Use strategies to relieve stress :

• Make sure that the people around you understand that your abilities are limited when you are feeling bad
• If it is possible to transfer jobs  to other if those jobs are already difficult to you. People are often willing to help if you tell them what you need.
