Whats the cure for depression?

I have suffered with it for 20 years & counting

Exercise is supposed to help and a new pastime that might make you meet new friends, good diet, also have heard a total spring clean etc of your surroundings like change things around a bit can make you feel more positive so you don't feel in the same old routine. Basically change a few things at a time, you probably know of some things (people) that trigger it off and deep inside you will know what to do, be strong, best of luck...

It is clinical. It is not something I would admit to normally but I have suffered from depression for a similar amount of time. I have learnt to live with it. I have realised that I will live with it for the rest of my life. It kinda makes things easier. How bad or good a day I have I can never predict which I find is the worse thing about depression. If I have arranged to do things on a particular day & I am on a bad downer that that day is screwed. I n the past that would of meant letting people down. But I have lived with someone for 12 years who understands it & is suportive. The real troublr for you & me is that people that have not had it can not comprehend what it is like.

getting a job you enjoy a hobby a close friend and a better self image of yourself, i know that sounds a lot to do with such a heavy weight already on your shoulders but it worked for me,

Im not glouting either just stating the facts. if you surround yourself with things you enjoy and forget those that make you sad you will be surprised.

A jolly good walk as my mum would say!!!

No, I don't know what the cure is, or if there is one. However, I do sometimes wonder if it's a Western disease. You can't imagine a woman from an African village struggling to make ends meet suffering from depression can you? Dunno, maybe they do.

I do think a good pinch to stop feeling sorry for yourself and some exercise may help. Take up dancing? After all, life the best gift you're ever going to have. You're a long time dead as my mum also says!!!

There isn't a cure just ways of making it livable with. There are meds and therapies but I'm sure you already know that. You just have to fight the battle however hard it gets. Keeping active and in contact with professionals regularly is one of the ways to make it easier. No cure though I really really wish there was.

If you have had it for 20 years - you should see a shrink. Have you tried Sun Therapy? The sun releases certain chemicals that will make you happy ( I know it sounds corny) but that's what my shrink told me.... I had post partum depression and the drugs and sessions didn't do crap for me. I basically had to lift myself up and get over this on my own and make my life better - because if I didn't - who else would? Best of Luck to you - hope your Happy soon!

i too suffer from depression and was hostipalized for it. first go seek pro help. then get a perscription. i hope this helps. stay strong.there is only meds to help. there is sadly no cure.

there is no cure for depression unfortunately. you just have to live with lt or see lf you can find a job and this will help you to keep your mind off things that are happening in your life

Unfortunately there is no proven cure.

I personally believe an active lifestyle, a good diet and ridding yourself of anything and anyone that causes you distress.

Having a laugh

Watch a comedy it always cheers me up
