Identifying the Cause:
Knowing the cause of your depression, is the first step to becoming over it.
It is best to identify the cause and try to overcome it, for example, if you are depressed about losing a friend, you should try to resolve the problem between you and your friend or make a new friend.
Getting over that problem means, getting over your depression.
