Try to remove/get away from the issue that is causing it. I know there are other issues that may add to the depression such as the bad state of the world and the horrible things some humans do, which are out of our control. But if you fix the main issue in your life that is causing this, things should improve.

If it is the girl, stop watching any type of romantic movies. When I went through it, I watched only macho movies (The Professionals, The Dirty Dozen, The Magnificent Seven). You should also talk to a psycologist (I prefer females). They cannot prescribe drugs and can listen. As weird as it sounds you know what movie helps? Fight Club. I understand perfectly

When my mother had 'depression' as in loss of seratonen that happens with age she went on Elmo pills. Happy pills that made her laugh no only at anything but also like Elmo. It was scary and embarrassing.
I have had depression pretty much all my life and I am an advocate for counselling to an extent.
Let me explain.
Counselling is not for everyone and neither is all counselling.
My biggest problem growing up was my lack of voice. I would always get shot down and made to do things (not talking about setting the table but nicking a small thing from the store or not saying anything when my father would nick something). I said no I would get hit. I don't want to get hit so I just did what I was told.
Now that seems fine, right. Well couple that with the 80's lifestyle of mind your business and the stupid solution (singular) my social worker said: tell him that. Um... If that worked to begin with I would not be mute.
Not all advice is going to work. And now no one in any authority will admit to giving you crappy advice. (It was your fault for taking it and/or botching it).

I have, and had this problem with depression, I decided to not do anything about it. And just accept it. With my kind of depression, I figure there is no cure. I'm sure that does not apply to you however. The way I look at it, it's mind over matter, therefore , I learn to accept the depression, and not look at it like it's a bad thing. It just is what it is so I can't do anything about it and just accept it. Lol, that didn't really answer your question, did it?

It just is what it is so I can't do anything about it and just accept it. Lol, that didn't really answer your question, did it? for the most part the cure is the removal of whatever factor that is making you depressed. if people at your job are constantly riding your ass [for example] having something non fatal happen to them [karma -- believe in it] would probably calm you down re: your job. if finances are worrying you, try to find where the leak is in your budget and plug it. or find a way to augment. i also believe that finding a good habit to get into is great. before i moved from manhattan to queens i would walk through the upper part of central park every Friday on the way home. in the spring it was beautiful. and it was in a particularly stressful time in my life. relentless harassment at work from the boss, witnesses playing deaf to it. racism against me from the boss [ i am white]. completely uncontrollable fifth grade class that consisted of more 13 year olds than any elementary school classroom known to man. my weight had dropped from 150 to barely 120 and i went from a size 12 to a size 6. i was too nervous to eat. i would only feel like eating on Friday afternoons. i had found this path in the upper part of central park and i would get off at 110th street -ish and walk through the park. i lived at 105th street in west end avenue so it was a good match up -- it wasn't out of my way at all. the only thing to consider was the fact that it was a Friday and i would come home with my planbooks.
