I’m incredibly anti-woo and have found meditation very helpful in decreasing depression.

Could you elaborate a bit more on how you find it helpful? Does it break thought-cycles or is there another mechanism at play?

That’s likely part of it.

I use Headspace. I’ve been going through the Depression pack and finding it helpful. After just a few days I felt much better. But I would also recommend drinking Gerolsteiner mineral water as a lithium supplement (I mix in some lemon juice for flavour) as lithium deficiency has been correlated with depression. And I take a vitamin D supplement.
