i've dealt with it on and off in the past, after my daughter was born it was worse. it many times is a chemical thing that you can't help.
exercise did help me. and an antidepressant. there are some good ones, but it can take several tries for a person to find one that works best for them. they could help you during the times you are in the throes of it.
i've been off the medication for several years now, somehow i don't have depression any more.
books about depression that focused on cognitive thinking also were helpful.
Seasonal Affective Disorder is the sunlight thing. definitely get sun when you are in that state of mind!
it really is a black feeling. really like a black hole.
