Snapping our of it is what happens when the depression starts to lift. Until then the very idea of snapping out of it is like travelling to the moon - you know a few people have done it but know that its not going to happen to you. The time the gloom lifts just enough for the vague glimmer of hope to shine through is like a miracle.
As someone else has pointed out getting involved in other things can help speed up the healing process, by distracting away from the cause, but it is like trying to pull away in 4th gear sometimes.
I hope that you never suffer from it because it's horrible.

Most people with depression will try to convince you that you can't just ' snap out of it ' but i recently suffered with depression , after a difficult time in my life , and the only way to deal with depression is realise it's a state of mind , and then find something else to occupy your thoughts , get a job if you can , or get a hobby if you are unable to work , learn a language , take up reading books and by doing this you will snap out of it , it's the only way

That's like telling someone to snap out of cancer or heart disease. Depression is a serious mental illness. It's not something that is here today and gone tomorrow. Everyone has good days and bad days but some people do have chemical imbalances that they cannot simply snap out of.

depression is a very serious illness, one that must be treated with understanding and respect. There is a huge difference between depression and feelin" blue. More knowledge, less ignorant sprouting about whinging people.

Because they can't just snap out of it. Depression is a mental illness and like all illnesses it needs to be treated to be either cured or kept under control. No one wakes up one day and decides to be depressed. It just happens.

Crispy - hows it goin mate - long time no see.
I assume you posted this just to provoke a response.
Depression isn't just about being a miserable bugger - miserable buggers can snap out of it - people who suffer from depression can't !
If you gave a miserable bugger anti depressants they would still be miserable buggers !!!
Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain which has/can have devastating effect on peoples moods and lives.
Think of it like diabetes of the brain - would you tell somebody who was having a diabetic attack to get over it and have a mars bar or a can of coke - no - it could kill them !!!
I often thought people who suffered with depression just couldn't be bothered with life and were a waste of space - even lazy - I couldn't understand why people couldn't laugh and have fun with their friends and loved ones.
That was until 6 years ago - I was having a bad time at work in a job I hated. My boss victimised me on a daily bases and it started to grind me down.
One day when I took a phone call at work on my mobile phone from a friend to tell me another dear friend had just passed away he turned to me a said "All you ever do all day every day is talk on that fcuking phone of yours" (which was a lie)
I turned to him and launched into the biggest loudest rant of my life and made the cnut feel like he was 2 inch tall - it even provoked the office to give me a standing ovation when I walked out of the room - 20 people clapping at the fact I had stood up for myself as they all knew what he was doing to me.
After this I went straight to his manager to tell him what had happened before my boss got the chance.
I told him about the months of victimisation which he listened to and took in. Next to my amazment I found my self uncontrollably sobbing - I'm a 6'3" 16 Stone 25 year old at this point - not someone you would think would do this !
I was told to go home and take the rest of the day of to let my self calm down.
I didn't return to work for 3 months and found that every morning when I woke up I cried - I cried all day until I went to sleep AND I HATED EVERY LAST FUKCING SECOND OF IT !!!
Usually I am quite a philosophical person and I wouldn't wish any harm, physical or mental to anyone - even my worst enemy.
***BUT***
For you to come on here and say "why can't they get over it" I hope to God that one day you suffer from depression because I will stand in front of your broken soul and laugh - I will laugh and laugh and laugh to make up for all of the days I have cried and not been able to control it you insolent sh1t.
To anyone suffering from depression - I wish you my heart felt love and I will reserve a loving hug for you all as sometimes people just need to feel like they are wanted or loved.
For all those people out there who don't understand depression please reserve your comments until you have fully studied it and understand it !

Many people with depression can help themselves if they do some simple self-help things like eat well (low fat, low sugar...lots of fresh fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains), exercise, fresh air, proper sleep, fun recreation, keep brain happy by learning more all the time and loving others and quit trying to be loved. Butttttttttttt, there are many that cant help their depression because it is chemically caused..from the little ole brain..they need professional help and probablly meds. :)
