Your condition is called bipolar affective disorder. Yes some lifestyle modification, exercise etc will help to some extent but not completely. You will require medications to keep your episodes under control. If not medicated the episodes will recur and sometimes it will be severe.
Next Steps
I suggest you meet a psychiatrist or review with your treating psychiatrist for the current episode of depression and take his/her advise
Health Tips
exercise, make sure you get good amount of sleep.
