4. Exercise

While doctors recommend exercise to all people suffering from depression, it appears to have the greatest effect on milder cases. In fact, some research has shown that getting regular moderate to high-intensity exercise can dramatically reduce symptoms. Exercise doesn't have to be limited to weight-lifting and jogging, mix it up with yoga and even dance therapy.

Like smoking cessation, this is a natural treatment that has no downside whatsoever.
