[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 85921, member: 14411"] Cognitive behavioral therapy is a proven strategy for depression. CBT is one of the go to strategies for depression and is a client based, short term solution that works well with exercise and meditation and wholistic strategies. My day job is that I am a psychotherapist directing substance abuse programs. I also have had a clinical practice for 20 years and have written some ebooks for my clients that are available on Amazon. CBT Made Simple, one of them, is a quick read that introduces you to the concepts and can get you started right away. Here is a link: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00LRJF0W6[/URL] If you can't get relief following these strategies for 6-8 weeks, look for a therapist that specializes in CBT.
