How to cure depression?

[John V]

I have a serious problem recently for about 1 year now im very depressed,even my doctor said that i have manic depressed.

How can i cure this,i wake up every morning with the same problems,that sucks me in depression.

Before you do anything else (i.e. antidepressants) try SAMe and exercise. SAMe is naturally occurring in the body but you may not have enough of it. If you're in America, it's an over the counter dietary supplement. In some countries it's only available by prescription (it's prescribed for depression and some forms of arthritis). Buy a good brand (Nature Made in America) because the stuff isn't extremely stable in pill form. Take it first thing in the morning and don't eat for 30 minutes. There's usually some mild gastrointestinal side effects that pass after a week or so. Some people take half a dose in the morning and the other half 30 minutes before lunch. Don't take it later than that as that might disturb your sleep. It typically comes in 400mg pills. Start with one of those daily (cut in half if you prefer) and increase after a week if necessary. Mild depression should respond to 400mg. Very depressed people are sometimes put on 1600 mg daily. Again, though, you start low and build up to the smallest effective dose. After you take it in the morning, go for a 20-30 minute walk.

Note that I'm not a medical professional and all this stuff comes from the interwebs and/or personal experience. Also note that the above regards depression. You also mention manic depression (bipolar disorder). I don't know if SAMe is used for that. If that's what you have, do some research.
