1
EAT HEALTHY - Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains will give your body what it needs to fight depression. Also make sure that you are drinking enough water. Avoid junk food and sodas, they are bad for your body and mind.

2
AVOID DRUGS AND ALCOHOL - Drugs and alcohol are depressants. They will not help you one bit. Even if you think that they make you feel good, it is just an illusion. The seven minutes of happiness that drugs and alcohol bring you are not worth the lifetime of low self esteem and depression they bring, among other things.
