    I found the book “Feeling Good” by Dr. David Burns to be extremely helpful. It teaches you the most common method therapists use (cognitive behavior therapy). Like therapy, you need to continually practice it for it to be useful.

    Practicing mindfulness can also be very beneficial.

    If it’s available in your area, Ketamine therapy (not recreational ketamine) has been shown to act as a rapid antidepressant. In the US, there are at home ketamine providers that you can consult online. There’s a popular low-dose provider that includes provider visits and medication for $129/month, if you qualify.
