That's a job for professionals. Not Gurus, pastors, priests or well meaning individuals. You don't know what a real clinical depression entails until you suffered from it. I did and to say I underestimated what other people said about being depressed, would be an understatment. To an outsider, who never had been in that situation, it's virtually undescribable. And that's why nobody, not trained to treat that illness, should attempt to do anything about it.
