If you feel like you're going to harm yourself or other people, this is the time to call emergency services. You don't want yourself to do something that you're going to regret. There are mental health facilities that you can go to and all you have to do is make a phone call. Generally they will just get you stabilized, and then you'll be let go with a plan on how to keep yourself from getting that bad again. Don't be afraid to get help, people do so quite often actually.



See if you can get a doctor to give you some medication for depression. Sometimes you just can't beat depression without the help from some medication. A lot of great medication is out there, so there's bound to be one that works for you. If you find that the medications aren't working right away, remember that it will take a little bit of time for it to work. The chemicals in your brain have to be rewired in a way by these medications, and that generally takes about two weeks or more to happen. Don't stop taking your medication when you feel better either.



Going to therapy may be something you'll do well with. It's something that's becoming more and more accepted as a great way to deal with depression. It doesn't mean that you're crazy or anything of that nature when you go to talk with a therapist. Even people that are famous are actively going to therapy, just to make sure they keep their minds in good working order. It's a great way to get out your stress, and it can also help you to learn what you can do the next time you feel your depression creeping up on you.



Get a friend that you can talk to the next time you feel depressed. Find someone that won't judge you and will just listen. Sometimes all you need is someone there to listen to what's going on and won't say anything. It's hard to find people to talk to from time to time because they just want to tell you to get over it and they don't realize that it's not something you can just get over. Educate a loved one about how depression is a chemical condition, and then see if they'd be willing to help you by listening in the future.



Now you should have some information on depression that you can use the next time you have a problem with it. Don't allow it to get the best of you, and know that there are ways to get around this situation if you actively seek out help.
