For me, having a close relationship with God has helped me overcome my very severe depression that i've battled off and on for 27 years. I believe God allows us to go through difficult times to develop Character in us. Every day when i focus on God, and know that He has a purpose for my life, a plan, i put my trust in Him and just knowing that he is in control of every detail of my life makes me feel better. He wants to see how i deal with my 'trials'..am i just going to give up? Or am i going to trust in Him and push forward trusting Him to give me the strength that i need. He also promises to never give us more than we can bare. This works for me..Praise God!
I also take medication, i believe God gave us Meds and it's absolutely necessary to take them when needed.
