One of the reasons I asked this question is that in the last few years (in particular) several of my close friends and close relations have suffered from depression - ranging from relatively mild to severe - and I now have a very genuine interest in the whole topic of depression, how to deal with it, and how to help people who are suffering from it. As wonderful as Knowledge is - for people who are genuinely interested in Knowledge - it is obviously not the answer for people who are not interested in Knowledge and who are suffering from depression. So what kind of things CAN benefit people who are suffering from depression (and who are definitely not interested in Knowledge - leaving aside the question of whether or not Knowledge can help a depressed person who IS interested in Knowledge)? And what kind of positive things can help prevent depression in the first place and keep people feeling good about life? What kind of things help people to cope with life generally, with all the difficulties life can present? I was just interested to hear what people on this board might suggest. (I haven't read all the replies yet. I just read as many as I had time for, I'll continue tomorrow.)
