What strategies can help people cope with depression?
Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Coping with Depression
"People coping with depression can set realistic goals, divide large tasks into smaller steps, establish priorities, and accept a reasonable level of responsibility. Staying connected with others, engaging in mild exercise or meaningful activities, and allowing family and friends to help can reduce isolation. Important decisions should generally be postponed until the depression improves or discussed with people who can offer an objective perspective."
