There are many ways to overcome depression..I overcame depression by my strong belief in Jesus..and through medication..being on medication is very important. Sometimes I felt like leaving my medication but I then realized a person who suffers from depression and dont take their medication can get into a relapse.

I began to suffer with depression at the age of seventeen..while writing my matric exams. I was an A student. I wanted to study medicine..but unfortunately I became very sick and I couldn't further my studies..but now I'm in the process of writting books to encourage people..about my life story.

I hope you are blessed by hearing my story. The very best thing in my life was becoming a mother..My son got me through this illness also. His love and support helped me to overcome depression also.

So love and support even from my family also hoped to overcome this illness. So my advice to those who have this illness is never give up..You are an overcomer through your belief in God..

Meditation also helps with this illness..It is an illness that can be controlled. I suffer also from schizophrenia..you start to hear voices..see things things that are not there..but medication also helped to overcome this part of depression..

Hope my advice on depression helps you become an overcomer.
