1.have a family history of depression
2.have experienced trauma, stress, or a 3.life-changing event
4.have a physical illness, such as cancer

Early stages of depressions can be treated by doing regular exercise and meditation but once someone reached that status it is hard for that person to realize what is going inside their head so it is not possible to recover them without any medicine. But medicine can be in any form not just only in the form of pills, since we have different medicine methods which are traditional and modern so with the help of traditional we can treat them without any pills.

The ultimate and permanent cure for depression is repentance from evil, believing in GOD, avoiding evil, not feeding on bad/evil things, feed regularly on good things instead, and completely rely on our Holy FATHER (the Source of all good things and the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth) to lead you. 
Always love GOD and your neighbors to continue to benefit from HIS full blessings such as happiness, peace, joy, etc. HIS Love will help you love others.    GOD is Love. If you abide in HIS Love, you will never feel depressed.

You all methods are very good and helpful because I also use few of them like Gardening and reading books these two helps me a lot in this situation watching movies is not good for me as I feel not good so mostly I try to do something else after these two methods.

I always get lack of sleep and that's the reason why my emotional being isn't well. I feel sometimes not good and thinking that my life isn't that good and I've probably going into the worse of my life.

I thought at first that depression is easy to deal with until I've experienced it and I've felt the hardship of overcome it, alone. Yeah, alone. I'm good already and I can deal with it on my own through doing things that I like and hopefully, I can get enough sleep which what I really want.

Most people have developed some form of depression since the pandemic started. The restrictions & changes towards life have made most people feel low at times. I’m no psychologist but I’d advise you to try & keep as busy as you legally can, exercise, go outside for a long walk & get fresh air.

Take up a new hobby online, read books. Nothing is going to make people feel 100% during these strange times but there are ways you can make the best of a bad situation.

in this period in which it is preferable to avoid close contacts with other people, i.e. socialize, lockdown, the virus, the risk of depression is really high, we must avoid as much as possible to do things that tire us, that we do not like, for example if we do a boring, repetitive activity we must try to take breaks and do something different that gratifies us

Additional and small help is Finding Right group of friends and company ,Because those are the most important people we will be in and may bring us what we would feel in specific time.

But Good advices OP ,this would really help for someone who has under depression .

I can't.

With too many activities that I have from day to day and things have to be done through the new normal, getting enough sleep is my struggle.  But I know that someday, I'll get enough of it.

Thanks for the reminder about going to gym or exercising. This will make my body tired and sure to give me good sleep, nice idea.

[Renampun]

depression generally occurs 'when things don't go the way we expect'...
not everyone is able to accept reality and not everyone is also mentally strong. problems in the household, economy, romance, and children often cause depression. the best way to avoid depression is to be prepared for all the bad things that will happen in the future and have the belief that not everything is going as expected.

How about adding up talking to your friends and family being open to them might really help you,
You could get the support or comfort that you really need most of the depressed likes to keep it secet and fight alone with it,
That is why some of them fail and results to taking their own life.

You guessed right about me. Guessing personality from hobbies, isn't it great!

Most importantly thing to do if you are feeling depressed at least for me is to make myself stay active.   
This is going to be harder cause of Covid but as long as you have access to internet there are plenty of ways to keep yourself busy. 
Exercising outside and talking with your friends is a good way to avoid depression.

A little by little, I'm dealing with it and maybe in the next days or weeks or months, I've totally overcome it.

But for now, I know how to handle it on my own and luckily that it didn't have to go through a lot and make myself put into a bad situation because of its difficulty dealing with it.
