Seek out a support group for caregivers. Talking, laughing, and sharing with others can be a major outlet for pent up feelings and frustrations. Check with local hospitals for information on this important topic. Nami, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill also has group resources. To start changing your negative beliefs, it can help to think of times when you have perhaps been told the story about someone or something from a trusted source, only to find that with a little extra digging, that there was more to the story then you were told. This can be particularly true of stories in the news media, tend to take a position on a story in the news, rather than report in an objective and accurate manner.

Over breakfast you become angry that someone put the eggs on the wrong side of the refrigerator. You finish breakfast by inadvertently putting the eggs on the wrong side of the refrigerator. This illness strikes during winter, when the days turn shorter and exposure to sunlight is limited. While we can all feel a bit down and low in energy at this time of the year, those most affected by this type of depression experience these feelings to an extreme. Some suffer a milder form of the condition--more like the "winter blues." Create a ritual of light for yourself by having a winter solstice party and giving gifts of nice candles to all of your guests. Celebrate the sharing of good food, good times and friendship. Do something for others and it will take the attention off of your own problems. In every moment of our lives, we have the choice of how we will proceed.

In fact I've read recently about a new view on depression. One take on it is that it's due to the chemical imbalance of the brain and genetic factors. There is not enough serotonin in your brain and it causes depression.

Having a healthy diet will not only help you to feel good and help your body to function normally but the food you eat also contributes to chemical reactions in your body. Foods full of sugar (fast foods, sweets, desserts etc.) all provide us with a temporary sense of happiness and this is often why they are used as comfort foods. However, after this temporary rush we experience a drop in our blood sugar and our mood ends up lower than it was before. During pregnancy your hormone levels are constantly fluctuating, and this can lead to emotional outbursts and sadness. Estrogen will often act as a protective barrier to depression, and during pregnancy women have this hormone in abundance. But in some women, if this hormone level is high and so are the levels of the hormone progesterone, then they may become depressed.
