She explains the entire science of depression treatment and gives step by step guidance to overcome depression. She has helped thousands of people to get rid of depression on their own. Hence, make your conviction powerful that you will come out of depression no matter what.
3. Instruct - The third step to get rid of depression is to instruct yourself about the what, why and how of depression treatment. Generally people fail to overcome depression on their own because they have half or no know-how about depression treatment. People do jump into taking antidepressants also but that again is a very temporary help. If you understand the fundamentals of depression treatment, then it will be very easy for you to come out of depression.
4. Approach - The fourth step is all about approach. Once you understand the science of depression treatment, you can easily select your approach to get rid of depression. There are various approaches to overcome depression such as counselling, online depression treatment, therapy for depression, online depression course etc. Find out what approach suits you most.

When you are ready to start your depression treatment, you must keep all the necessary items ready which are the basic requirements. The list of items may include pen, paper, colours or various props for exercises etc. If you are opting for a counselling approach then ask your counsellor about the list of items you will need to get rid of depression.
