The main treatment is counseling and medication. But, there are always other choices. Talk to your doctor and see what they think is best for you.

There is medication available, but that's more-or-less a last resort kind of thing. There's also therapy, which again is a formal sense of treatment. But in addition to that, treating depression could be as simple as walking your dog around the block daily, to release endorphins, or even exercise when you're feeling down or upset.

I feel like this is best answered by either your doctor or your therapist. We here at 7 Cups can not provide you with treatment. However, to give you an idea, medication, self-care, and other methods are available. It's just a matter of finding out what works best for you! :)

Psychotherapy, medication, a combination of the two.. And in severe cases admission to a hospital for advanced treatment.
