You can't cure it, but you can manage it. The best research shows that a combination of medication and behavioral therapy is best for managing depression. More natural things that improve and manage depression include exercise (gets your chemicals up and running), a regular sleep pattern (no staying up too late or sleeping in, sorry :( ), and a healthy diet. If your body is healthy and hearty your mind will follow.
