Depression is not just a temporary change of mood or a sign of weakness. This is a serious medical problem with many emotional, physical and behavioral symptoms.
Many are ashamed or afraid to ask for help. Others ignore their symptoms and end up suffering in silence. Contrary to some misconceptions, depression is not inevitable and is not a personality defect. People with depression often have such thoughts because of the feeling of guilt they are experiencing that is caused by the illness. Depression is a real health problem for which help is available, but you must be aware of it and ask for help.

I advise people suffering from this situation of depression to try to forget everything that can have negative effects on their health, this can be achieved by not focusing our effort to think about the past or the future, but especially taking advantage of the present moment, as already mentioned Eckharte TOLLE in his famous book "the power of now".

An event of depression may go away on its own, but it may take a long time for this to happen - a time most of hove has suffered and pains. If you take antidepressants, your symptoms will improve within about six weeks. It is recommended to be properly monitored and psychotherapy can be used.
It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle: Regular exercise helps greatly in preventing depression. You should also maintain a balanced diet, which can also help, and keep regular hours of sleep.
In different people, depression is expressed differently.
For example, some people have depression, which causes them to sleep disorders, whereas in others depression comes mainly through a sharp drop in appetite.
It is important for everyone to know how depressed he is and to be alert: if symptoms appear to him, he or she should consult a family doctor for help.
