Below are some practical steps and advice on how to avert depression when nothing seems to be working.

• Create the right environment for recovery;
  When we go through depression, at that moment everything around us is irrelevant or useless, we let vital things like house chores and others fall by the wayside. Reason being either our physical environment is dirty, unclean, messy and this can probably worsen our state of mind. With that, we continue to disdain the house chores and thus the vicious cycle continues.

Aim at one thing at a time, even if it's just by the corner of the room. Without much exertion, do what you feel you have energy and passion for, with that you'll have a tidied, clean, neat, clutter-free space that's way more productive to overcome your depressed feeling.

What’s more, the sense of accomplishment you get from tidying up can do wonders for your self-esteem and provide a powerful boost to your mood.

• Reduce your intake for sugar
  When we're deep in depression most of us consider that the only way to ease out the depression is eating food to make us feel better, but the naked truth is that by so doing were actually doing more damage than good.

One might be feeling a bit skeptical about that line but it's just the plain truth. When we take in processed foods like cookies, chocolates, candies junk foods and sugary cereals, we might probably get a temporary boost that makes us feel a bit rectified as a little amount of dopamine is released.

Researches have discovered that high intake of sugar might even lead to increased level of depression, having known this is better to avoid these listed sugary foods and apply the first point as stated in the first point.
