How can I overcome my depression?

Ever since I was in grade 8, I knew I had anxiety and depression, I fought it alone and didn’t tell my family. Because I don’t want to add to their expenses every day.
My depression hasn’t gone away until now.

The first step to overcoming depression is to seek professional help. This can include talking to your doctor, a therapist, or a counselor. They can provide you with a proper diagnosis and suggest treatment options that are tailored to your individual needs.

Reach out to friends and family for support, or consider joining a support group. You can also consider volunteering or participating in social activities that interest you.

Try to identify these thoughts and challenge them with positive, realistic alternatives. You can also try keeping a journal to track your thoughts and emotions.
