Suffering from depression hurts. Sometimes, all the drugs in the world can't make the ache go away. And yet, there is an easy way to fight depression without drugs or diet changes. Just by thinking positively, you can reduce your depression symptoms. Positive thinking isn't bunk pseudoscience: scientists have found that, by trying to be upbeat, your brain actually feels less depressed. But how to think positively? Easy: repeat a list of positive affirmations of your worth to yourself.
