Treatments & Support

Depression is treatable. Most people are treated with talk therapy, medicine, or both, and brain stimulation is an option when those are not enough. Each card links to its source: a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) label or record, a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) page, or, for treatments still in clinical trials, the trial registry or company announcement.

Antidepressants and young people

Antidepressant labels carry an FDA boxed warning: in short-term studies, antidepressants increased suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children, teens, and young adults. Anyone starting a medicine or changing a dose should be watched closely, especially in the first few weeks. Never stop a medicine without talking to the prescriber.

Everyday habits

Things that can help alongside treatment

Self-care steps NIMH suggests once treatment has started. They support recovery; they are not a substitute for diagnosis or care.

Talk with a health care provider before starting any supplement or making big changes.

Physical activity

NIMH self-care

Just 30 minutes a day of walking can boost your mood.

NIMH lists physical activity among the things that may help once treatment has started.

A helpful habit alongside treatment, not a replacement for it.

National Institute of Mental Health · Depression

Sleep and meals

NIMH self-care

Keep a regular bedtime and wake-up time, and eat regular, healthy meals.

Steady routines are part of the self-care NIMH recommends while depression treatment takes effect.

Big changes in sleep or appetite can be symptoms themselves. Mention them to the care team.

National Institute of Mental Health · Depression

Connection

NIMH self-care

Talk to people you trust about how you are feeling.

NIMH suggests connecting with people and doing things you used to enjoy, even when you do not feel like it, because they can improve mood.

If someone tells you they are thinking about suicide, do not keep it secret. Contact 988.

National Institute of Mental Health · Depression

Alcohol and drugs

What to avoid

Steer clear of substances that can make depression harder to treat.

Using alcohol or drugs more can be a sign of depression. NIMH advises avoiding alcohol, nicotine, and drugs, including medicines not prescribed for you.

If substance use is part of the picture, see the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline on the Resources page.

National Institute of Mental Health · Depression

Supplements and natural products

What not to expect

FDA has not approved any natural product for treating depression.

Some people report that vitamin D or St. John's wort helped, but research findings are inconsistent, and these products can interact with prescription medicines.

Do not use vitamin D, St. John's wort, or other supplements for depression without talking to a health care provider first.

Clinical trials

Depression studies looking for volunteers

1,442 depression studies were recruiting on ClinicalTrials.gov as of September 30, 2026. Below are 54 of them: mostly Phase 2, 3, and 4 treatment studies with at least one site in the United States, picked to cover different kinds of depression and treatment.

Talk with your doctor before joining a trial

A listing here is not a recommendation. Studies test treatments that may not work or may have side effects, and each one has its own rules about who can join. Ask your doctor, or your child's doctor, whether a study fits, and keep taking current treatment unless your care team says otherwise. A research study is not emergency care: in a crisis, call or text 988.
