Draw something for a friend

Remind yourself that depression is not your fault. It is not because you are weak, or a "loser". Remember, depression is an illness with symptoms like any other illness. It affects your feelings, thoughts, behaviours and your body. The good news is that many things can help. Research shows that using several approaches provides the best outcome. These include medication, therapy and self-management activities. The Coping Methods section of this app (Booster Buddy) lists some helpful self-management activities.
