I have been suffering from depression and taking my medicine too but seems the medication is not helping me enough. I want to know more what shall I do.

Question

Look at your eating, sleeping and exercising habits. If you don?t take care of yourself physically, getting out of a depression will be nearly impossible. I have realized that just going for a 30 min walk can make a huge improvement for my mindset. Realize that what you?re feeling isn?t the truth. You are not worthless. The source of these feelings has its roots in the chemical imbalance in your brain. I don?t know what other tips I can give, but I?ve experienced severe depression myself so I know how difficult it is. I wish you the best of luck with your recovering.
