isolating yourself only makes depression worse. 17 Spend time with friends, especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy.
Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a “runners high”? Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression, so get involved in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class. Any activity helps! 18 As for food, make sure you’re feeding your mind with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Avoid alcohol and drugs.
You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a “mood boost,” even if just for a short time. However, substance use can not only make depression worse, but can cause you to become more depressed. 19 You will need special treatment for your substance problem.

Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition, if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents about, see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you’re dealing with friendship, or family problems, talk to an adult you trust.
A. Turn to your parents for help. B. Ask for help if you are stressed. C. Even a short walk can be beneficial.
D. The more exercise you do, the healthier you will be. E. Help is available and you have more power than you think.
F. As you get out into the world, you may find yourself feeling better.
G. In short, drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse--not better--in the long run.

If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and identify (识别) those of 41 (great) and less importance.
