You can also look up any depression medication that you are taking to learn more a bout your condition and check for side effects.
You can learn about the effects of stress on depression by reading "Conquering Stress," by C.J. Green.
You can also find help for your depression at your local church or community center. Depression help for low income people can often be found through these resources, and oftentimes the counseling is free. Most churches provide counseling for depression as a service to members of their congregation, but won't turn away someone simply because they do not belong to the church.
Community centers are wonderful resources for depression help. They can point you in the direction of free depression support groups for specific depression, such as grief groups for people who have just lost a loved one (this is usually your local hospice center), anxiety depression, and those who are on regular medications for depression.
The support groups typically meet once a week. There you can meet people who are overcoming their depression and draw strength from each other.
Community centers can also help with resources for the causes of some depression, such as food banks, energy assistance, and health care.
This is another form of depression help available to you to help with some of the causes of depression, such as poverty.
Some even provide free vegetable and flower seeds as a form of depression therapy, especially in places where Seasonal Affected Disorder is common.
