Depression Treatment

• Set realistic goals in light of the depression and assume a reasonable amount of responsibility.

• Break large tasks into small ones, set some priorities, and do what you can as you can.

• Try to be with other people and to confide in someone; it is usually better than being alone and secretive.

• Participate in activities that may make you feel better.

• Mild exercise, going to a movie, a ballgame, or participating in religious, social, or other activities may help.

• Expect your mood to improve gradually, not immediately. Feeling better takes time.

• It is advisable to postpone important decisions until the depression has lifted. Before deciding to make a significant transition-change jobs, get married or divorced-discuss it with others who know you well and have a more objective view of your situation.

• People rarely "snap out of" a depression. But they can feel a little better day-by-day.

• Remember, positive thinking will replace the negative thinking that is part of the depression and will disappear as your depression responds to treatment.

• Let your family and friends help you.
