Is it very bad being dependent on antidepressants? What would the worrying downsides of dependency be?
Exercise is widely recommended.
As far as I know Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy is the closest to having an evidence base for success, although I couldn't point you to the studies.
Healthy eating is probably worth an effort, and of course good for all sorts of reasons.
Not enough protein = depression. At least, for me. I've learned this the hard way countless times. Weirdly, some beef (maybe with MSG?) makes me more depressed, so I stick with chicken. Roasting a chicken once a week means I have a ready supply of protein to put into any meal.
Heuri-stick-with-chicken, one might say.
