Secondary Prevention

• Healthy lifestyle habits can help prevent depression, and reduce the chances of it coming back. Talk therapy and antidepressant medication can also make you less likely to become depressed again.

• Talk therapy may help you through times of grief, stress, or low mood. Family therapy may help teens who feel sad.

• Keeping close contact with other people is important for preventing depression.
