Yes. Taking control of your depression takes time, and small steps can often make big differences. Trying a few of the steps listed below may help alleviate some of your depression symptoms:

- Go to a movie, concert, sporting event, or activity that you once enjoyed

- Try to spend time with other people and confide in a trusted friend or relative
- Meditate
Unfortunately, there is no absolute cure for depression, yet. However, even the most severe cases of depression are treatable. Learning about your particular type of depression through clinical consultation can help you understand your symptoms and any possible underlying causes for what you may be experiencing. Medication as well as beneficial life changes can aid in the treatment of depression, including developing restful sleep patterns, increasing exercise, improving nutrition, establishing a strong support network, and finding ways to reduce/eliminate stress. Your mental health professional can help determine the most effective treatments for long-lasting relief from depression.
At some point, almost everyone experiences depression. Depression affects both men and women, however, it’s twice as common among women than among men, according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Studies show that 20% of women experience at least one episode of depression in their lifetimes. And researchers believe that certain biological, hormonal, and psychosocial factors unique to women may be linked to higher rates of depression.
