What does Islam say about depresison, if there is anything said about it at all? Please provide as extensive an answer as you can. Also please show me where you found the info in other words CITE YOUR WORK!! I'd greatly appreciate it if you could, but please don't let that be the reason (not being able to cite your work) why you don't give an answer.
Also if any person writes an answer that says anything bad about ANY religion, I WILL report it as abuse. If you have something bad to say about someone/something, look it up and get all the facts straight before you say anything.
Oh and thanks for your time. ^_^

Please be aware that their are many daily supplications one can make to get rid of depression. You can see these supplications which are recommended in the previously mentioned articles.
One of the beautiful things about Islam is that it has the solution to every problem. There are recommended supplications in the morning and night that will help you. I can personally attest to this. Visit the site makedua.com and see for yourself.
You only have to put your full trust in Allah Subhanhu Wataala.
Let me know if you require any further details.
In peace..

In this regard, the true philosophy of life should be understood. We have been created by the Almighty to be tested and tried (Quran chapter 67: verse 2). This trial is conducted through the circumstances we are put in. If we are put through good circumstances, then our trial is whether we remain thankful to the Almighty, who gave us without asking and without our having any right. If we are put through bad circumstances, then our trial is whether we show perseverance and patience in these times or not.
Both these circumstances generally come in a person’s life. They are his real test. He cannot be given total happiness or total misery since that would make the trial profoundly difficult.
It is evident from the Qur’an that the Almighty tests us through hardships:
1. to punish us for our own misdoings (42:30),
2. to shield us from greater misery (18:74, 18:79),
3. to sift out the evil within us (3:179),
4. to give us the opportunity to earn reward by showing patience (3:142, 76:12).
In such circumstances, a person must remember that Allah is our only Saviour and Refuge. One Whom we will never lose like our other relations; Who is always with us and Who always thinks well for us. Our objective as a Muslim is to surrender to His will, since we know that He always means well for us. This is the essence of Islam.
Verily in the remembrance of Allah (God) do hearts find tranquility.
Supplicate to your creator...Here is one supplication you can make.
O God! O our Master! You are eternal life and everlasting peace by Your essence and attributes. The everlasting peace is from You and it returns to You. O our Sustainer! Grant us the life of true peace and usher us into the abode of peace. O Glorious and Bounteous One! You are blessed and sublime.
Allahumma ya mowlana antas-salaam, wa minkas-salaam, wa ilaika yarjaus-salaam, haiyyina rabbana bis-salaam, wa adkhilna daras-salaam, tabarakta rabbana wa-ta'laita, ya zal jalali wal ikram

2:155. And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but give
glad tidings to the steadfast,
156. Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah's and Lo! unto Him we are returning.
157. Such are they on whom are blessings from their Lord, and mercy. Such are the rightly guided.
