Hi. I think it was a good idea to share this tips because many people don´t know what to do. One big problem in depression seems to be lack of motivation, so starting new projects seem impossible to people that are suffering from severe depression. Most are more comfortable doing things they´re used to and don´t want to start new stuff, so the best tip is to reorganize their agenda in a way that includes activities they really enjoy.
I would add one more tip: Ask help to a Cognitive Psychologist, because where I live Psychiatrists and Doctors will only prescribe medication. Recent studies found that cognitive therapy together with medication and has a high percentage (60-70%) of success.
Regards.
