Pray deep from your heart. Then try to discuss your root cause of depression with someone sincere with you and very close to you it could be possible that you'll get the solution of your problem and your depression go away.
It is always better to deal with depression and always try to defeat it because it could ruin one's life.
Only the psychologist teacher knows how I handle it since he knew my body langugae in person. I didn't tell it to to others esp my family because I know no one will listen to me backk then until now. Now Nick (my boyfriend) and Jojo (my closefriend) knows about it.
I am someone who also deals with depression somewhat daily and it is not something that is nice to go through. I always used to think I was on my own suffering from depression but I am actually shocked at how many people do suffer from depression on a daily basis which told me that it's something that is quite common and you are never alone when it comes to suffering. I find each day is different for me and depending on how bad it depends on how I deal with it. Some days I will just shut off and shut out the world and find things to do to take my mind off how I am feeling and other days I tend to take myself away from a lot of things and just sit and game to take my mind off things. I also suffer from fibromyalgia myself as well and one of the symptoms of that is depression. I am on medication to help with that and the other symptoms I have which helps but I still have bad days.
Everyone may feel depressed once in a while. When I feel depressed, I will listen to some cheerful music, play musical instruments or have some dark chocolates. However, if a person is depressed all the time, s(he) may need to seek professional help or even take medications.
I struggled with depression after learning about my health condition, and it worsened during the coronavirus pandemic. To deal with it, I read self-help books. Although I still have moments of depression, I avoid taking additional medications as I am already on a lot of medication. I even sought help from a life coach before but it did not work out that much.
In my family, no one had experienced this. I am not sure if it is in the genes. We were born with parents who are a fighter in nature.

That's the best way to go about it. Or you can simply surround yourself with people that would take your mind off things.
