I have struggled with depression in my past. What should i do if I am getting depressed again?

Question:

I do not want to take medication again. I am a year off of meds and doing almost ok. I just have felt myself slipping lately and want to pull myself out of it. Has anyone out there been here, or do I have to back to a shrink?

Answers:
Exercise is the best non-pharmaceutical treatment I know of, especially strenuous aerobic exercise. Forget about the shrink, he/she won't help you with your depression because they cannot help you with your depression.

I'd suggest going back before things get too bad, there's only so much you can do on your own. Good luck.
