Or just making lots of money - I find money is a great equalizer. Maybe mine is more ' situational ' than anything else.

Doing anything you enjoy, or even just doing anything will make you feel ten times better.
And yes, money helps, because it's one less thing to worry about, and it allows you to do more things you enjoy. I have depression, and I find baking to help ease my mind, but if I don't have the money to buy the ingredients, I can't bake.

I have to say yes and no. This coming from a person also suffering depression but on meds. Lots of things work, going places, certain people to be around makes you feel much better. But on the no side if it is just the money then that is not good as money is great it can't make depression go away or really lessen after you buy everything you want like a good friend or spouse can. Does that make sense to you?

Yes and no. I am a Stained Glass Artist and love working with the glass but Fibroymalgia pain stops me from most of what I used to do. So there is a trigger for the depression to set in. I want to work the glass but the pain stops me, then I'm upset that I can't do the things I once did. Vicious circle.

Money helps but yes depression lessens when you're working or doing something you like.

Yes very much. People get over depression if they are supported by medication AND thier life gets better. Keep your psychiatrist posted on your progress.
