- Exercise and meditation
- Acupuncture or massage
- Emotional freedom technique (EFT)

Under medical supervision, you can try these methods as an alternative to medication or combine them with medication to help your prescription work better.
Depressive episodes rewire the brain, increasing the likelihood of relapse—though this may not happen for weeks, months, or even years. However, if you experience depression every few weeks or several times a year, it may be time to get help. Treatment can increase the time between episodes and shorten them when and if they happen.
