Great post @OP... but this is not to be confused with "clinical depression". Self-recovery is great, but people can often get confused between "depression" (as a vague term for a range of mild to moderate mental illnesses) and "clinical depression" (which is a chemical imbalance of hormones that can be "fixed" with medicine, which tends to be moderate to severe forms of depression).

Mental illness is so sad but thankfully the mind can heal .

Nice one but this should be included: neva waste ur time thinking the Super eagles win bring home the nations cup trophy!

Fix your diet
Be more active
Work In Short Bursts

Nice 1... Totally on point

Sadness and feeling down is different from depression. For clinical depression, a common sense remedy (apart from medication and cognitive behaviour therapy) is to ensure you get a MINIMUM of 8 hours sleep EVERY night to boost the Serotonin levels in your brain as depression (and most mental illnesses which we wrongly stigmatise as madness in Naija) is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Enough sleep has been shown to enhance mood by rebalancing the levels of brain chemicals that dictate mental well being.

you need to read books to know how to handle self esteem and depression.
