How can people empower themselves and beat depression?
Stick with your treatment for the recommended course of time. Don’t stop your medication or therapy just because you start to feel better. The chances of relapse are much higher if you stop treatment prematurely. Psychotherapy with CBT or another specific therapy for depression may increase your chances of recovery and staying well. Make positive lifestyle changes, including regular exercise, consuming only moderate amounts of alcohol, getting involved in meaningful activities and cultivating your sense of humor.
