9.Think Outside the Box

Acupuncture
Yoga
Massage
Meditation

10.Vitamins and Other Nutrients
People who are low on vitamin D seem more likely to get depressed, but taking extra D doesn’t always help them feel better. Some studies show that EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), found in fish oil, may help treat depression. L-methylfolate (Deplin) — shows promise for boosting the benefits of antidepressants in some patients. Talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you.
