A couple of lines surely cannot give an appropriate answer to such a question... I'm not a doctor nor a
psychologist, but i advise you to get in touch with a professional, that's the first step you got to do in order to try and defeat depression. I know that finding the willpower needed can be hard but as you are here asking for help means that you recognized your little "problem", so you want to change in better. Good luck, and remember you're not alone.

Alcohol and drugs do help for some times but it get worse later.
Best way is to find what's troubling you and change your lifestyle.
Change cities, places, environment around you. Even changing the placement of furniture may help.
If you feel Okay with any other person be in company most of the time, don't stay alone.
Talk, share, if you have nothing to talk about talk how you feel.

A person can most certainly overcome depression on their own although that is the harder and more time consuming path. What she needs to realize is that life is always worth living no matter how down we get no matter how bad the circumstances look. If you change your mindset to this and constantly think this then those negative thoughts will go away. Try doing some exercise or tasks that keep you mind and your body busy. Lastly do the little things you love to do because that will show you life is worth living for.

Talking to people is the most effective way of combating depression because if care is not taken the depressed person will become a danger to him/her self and to society as a whole and that never works well for anyone.
