I don't have depression but I am manic depressive so I imagine there are similar things that help.

Exercise definitely! Even just running a little bit helps. It seems like you already have talked to a therapist. Have you considered finding people to talk to as well? I think what usually happens with depression is that you shut yourself away from everyone else, but you really need to open up to someone to improve. At least, that's been my experience.

Bipolar disorder and depression are different illnesses. The medications used to treat are different; the therapies used to treat are different.

I appreciate that you took the time to explain why I was downvoted.

Also, I'm pretty sure the things I described are good for both.. I was misdiagnosed with depression at first so I did a lot of research into it, but maybe my memory is failing me.
