Prevention of Depression:

What can be done to lower the risk of depression? How can people cope? There are a few practical steps you can take. One way to prepare for major changes in life, such as retirement or the death of family or friends, is to keep and maintain friendships over the years. Friends can help ease the loneliness of losing a spouse. You can also develop interests or hobbies, keep the mind and body active, and stay in touch with family to help limit the effects of depression.
