Looking for advice on managing depression while on medication

I have depression some things i do is Listen to music and do puzzles or paint.It may not be much but it helps me...I try to listen to music with all my activities it helps me..

I've never done group therapy so I can't speak for it's effectiveness, but it might be easier to get into than individual therapy. My therapists have all used a variety of methods, so they're not just CBT practitioners for example - I think you get more coping skills this way.

This probably isn't the answer you want to hear, but I had to try several medications before I found one that worked on both my anxiety and depression. If it's a new medication, you might just need to give it a little longer to see the full effects. Otherwise, if therapy is accessible for you I strongly recommend it!
