Hi there! In addition to the antidepressant and therapy (I haven't tried therapy yet btw), my doc recommended exercising. I have friends that have taken up running and swear by it as the cure for their depression.

I remember feeling overall much better when I was following an exercising routine.

Another recommended approach is meditation and mindfulness. Just breathing seems to help a lot.

Finally, I keep my hands busy with a hobby, which can get your mind focused and relaxed for a long time.
