I think that relieving the stress in our lives may vastly help with depression. Dealing with depression is a serious business, since so many suicides result from it. A good prescription for relieving stress, and depression associated with it, is to find something the patient truly enjoys doing and training his mind in such a fashion that his mind 'knows' there will be a time of relief. For instance, if patients give themselves 30 minutes a day of just reading, playing a game, chatting with friends, etc. just anything they truly enjoy, they will come to realize that "yes, there is going to be a relief" even so small, yet so vitally important. I can suggest the internet for fun activities, and a potential site that affords the opportunity of meeting new friends. Just a small chat a day, can make a big difference in someone's life.
