There are mainly two types of treatment.

1) Medication

2) Talking therapies e.g. psychotherapy

If depression is so severe and not responding to at least 2 or 3 different types of medication which was given over adequate period and tried with optimum doses OR if the condition is life threatening (the person not eating etc...), we consider ECT or electroconvulsive therapy.

I think meditation is a potent way to reduce stress and depression and create peace of mind in highly stressful times.

The use of deep breathing and meditation can be used as a means of relaxation. Other interventions include learning empathy, stress management skills, forgiveness, changing how you speak about yourself or others and improving optimism. As the issue of anger varies from person to person and so as the depression, the treatments are designed to be personal to the individual.
