Options: 1. Wait for it to pass on its own. Depression often resolves without treatment after6-12 months. However, it sometimes can be chronic. And, untreated depression now may lead to a worse prognosis in the future. In my opinion, this is not a good idea.
2. Exercise, stay busy, socialize, etc. This may help in some cases, but probably not most.
3. Counselling. Consult a friend, religious authority, counselor, etc. This works for many, certainly not all. Cognitive therapy and interpersonal therapy are specific types of therapy that may help.
4. Herbs, like St John's wort. May help, but purity is an issue. Also, there's still a lot of unknowns here, in terms of side-effects and interactions with other medicine. Just because it's an herb doesn't mean it's safe
5. Medication. Yes, I know you said you didn't want medication. If the above aren't working, you should try working with an internist or psychiatrist on this. Fact is, untreated depression is dangerous. Suicide is always a risk, and the longer depression is untreated, the less likely it will respond to treatment in the future.Yes, medications have side effects. However, it is ESSENTIAL to remember that you need to weigh the risk of side effects against the risk of suffering from untreated depression. Obviously, the choice is yours.
6. One final word. BEWARE those who offer quick fixes and "guaranteed cures." Above all, don't think for one second that your depression is incurable or that life is not worth living.
