How can people change their thinking and behaviors to be less depressed?

Mm I have never been depressed before tbh.

But I know ways that can help that have helped people I know be less depressed

If you let these people know that your there for them mentally and physically, they’ll have less of a reason to be depressed
-So that means just listen to them and let them vent to you and agree with them if you have to

Also so let’s say your depressed, just try new things and find what makes you happy in the moment.
-this will help you be happier and find purposes in life and to kinda just be out there!

Sometimes you just need to talk to yourself.
-And I dont know if that just makes your crazier or not but some people say it helps

Listen to music
- if you sing/rap along with the song, you’ll become happier and sometimes even forgetful in the moment of what made you depressed in the first place
[Try non-sad Music]

Talk out your emotions
-venting helps your feel better in the end usually! Sometimes you just need to let it out.

-hope that helped
Your Welcome! <3
