I did try a lot of the methods listed here. I was raised in a household where alternative medicine was heavily favored. While I've seen natural cures be affective for other things, the only treatment that really makes a functional difference in my mood is my atypical anti-psychotic. Things like creative writing and having supportive people around me are great, but the fact is that I was screwing up both my writing and my relationships by being so depressive and unfocused while I was unmedicated.
So for some of us the fact is that meds ARE the only thing that works. I really wish that wasn't the case because it sucks to know I'll be medicated for all of the foreseeable future, but for me it's just a fact I'll have to live with.
