There different factors that can contribute to depression. one is your thoughts, Biology or environmental. We cannot do much about environment but if properly worked on thoughts and little bit of biology things can be different. A proper assessment is required if the depression is due to biological reasons only therapy won't help. Sometimes medical intervention might be needed. Also thought about depression need proper therapy and not just think positive let's do things that make me happy type of approach.
Next Steps
A multi session thought Managment therapy is required.
Health Tips
Depressions is negative thoughts about Future, self and others. So one need to target the hopelessness first.
