Depression lowers our mood, drains our hope and energy to do what makes us feel better. Although depression kills your motivation it does not mean that it is impossible to recover from it.

    Duncan, As somebody who does suffer from depression, I can tell you that general forums such as this aren't generally the right place to chat about such subjects. It does depend on the person, of course, and what they expect to get from this type of chat.

    depression is a state of mind, and to recover from state of mind, i use meditation and exercise. meditation take care of your spirit and exercise take care of your physical.
    some people will find some works to do, to eliminate the free time they have. because when we depress, our thought will go at full speed toward negative thing when we are free. this way they both surrounded by many people and work and no time to think of those sad things anymore. it is a good technique, especially if you just lost someone important to you. at that point, exercise and meditation might not do you much help, but this technique will. also join a positive mindset group weekly, join good seminar on personal development, this will also help people get out of depression faster as well.
