It’s a matter of trial and error. Often it’s a combination of therapy and medication. What doesn’t work sometimes might work at other times. You really need to connect with a therapist, so a systematic approach can be used. Also, make sure you’re taking care of your body, with decent nutrition, enough sleep and exercise. Twenty minutes of exercise that increases the heart rate, is often very helpful, as it causes the release of endorphins associated with reducing depression.

Keep trying. Something will work. Don’t try to handle it all on your own. Let us know how you’re doing.
