How to get rid of depression?

I don't think depression can ever totally disappear, but you can take steps to diminish it to next to nothing. All you need is a good listener!

The way I see it, depression is like your life is being lived inside a clear box and depression is black paint. Sure, you can mix in a ton of optimism in the form of white paint to counteract the effects of depression, but you'll still have a tint of grey, no matter how light, in the end. I don't mean this in a bad way at all. Depression can go away in time but it's not something you can ignore. It was a part of you at one point in your life and even when you have more energy to do things and feel like getting your life together, there will be days where it would be easier to sink back into your old self.

Depression is something that kind of, sits on your shoulder and goes with you through your day and there are things you can do to make the 'weight' go away. Things that make you happy are always a good start, but many people find the exercise and eating right helps them feel better. You can only get rid of depression if you believe you can, and you try!

yes you can try by talking to people here, get some help from doctor, advice from counselling, try nt to think negative and etc.

I don't think so, personally. It's not really something that is curable. You can work on it and learn how to handle it better and deal with it properly, but I don't think you can ever really get rid of it.

It can be treated. Depression is chemical imbalance in your brain. You cant just "got rid" of it. It needs to be treated to get better.

I don't believe it goes away 100%, but you can definitely improve your life to the point where you've become stronger than your depression and so it doesn't get in the way of you living life to the fullest and finding happy moments with love and compassion.

Yes, you can get rid of depression. With a lot of support, hard work and dedication it is possible overcome depression.

Yes. A lot of people report that after struggling with it for a few months or a few years, they are able to move past it. The word "rid" can be a little inaccurate. As an illness, it is something you can fully recover from with the help of therapy, self care, medication, exercise and time.

Depression can be treated and cured. It takes time and effort, but it can be beat! There are medicines, like anti-depressants, that can help treat it, and other exercises and techniques, like therapy, that also help.
