Depression builds feelings of disappointment, sadness or a loss the interest in the activities you enjoyed. More, it will increase to a diversity of emotional problems and decrease a person's capacity to do any work.

If you're dealing with those types of problems and also you don’t find any therapy of this then the best remedy of depression is that you treat yourself according to Sunnah. There are many Islamic Centers gives sessions on some of these types of sicknesses, so you can come out from these problems progressively.

1.       The sleep of Prophet’s is laying down on the back

2.       The sleep of the WORSHIPPERS is on the right side

It depends on the type of depression.
In many cases, it can be a chemical imbalance in the brain/ body... and it needs medicine. Or it can be a temporary depression due to stress/ trauma which needs a few professional sessions for coping mechanisms and cognitive stills. Or it could be due to Hassad and other things, which reading alot of Quran will inshallah help with.

Many scholars these days are recommending people who feel depressed to go first to a professional so they can be told if it needs medicine or just a few sessions...etc.

so yes... it is a good idea to FIRST find out which type it is.

Thank you very much for the useful information. Unfortunately, depressive disorder is often taken lightly.

It would help if you did not confuse clinical conditions, which can be signs of different disorders. Lack of adequate sleep or diving into a deep phase can also be a sign of prolonged anxiety syndrome. This is only part of a dangerous illness, and if not treated comprehensively, then the situation can get even worse. As a rule, the most unfavorable outcome is the development of depression. After that, most people have the question of how to treat depression? So now, there are a lot of ways that are based on therapeutic and social help. So if you notice the first signs, it's better to see a specialist.

Assalamualaikum,
Turn to Allah for help alone, no human knows you better than he does, and personally i believe that getting therapy will only further you into depression and yes it will clash with Islam since they have the most hideous ways to treatment. I suggest spend time with good religious brothers at the masjid and you'll slowly see happiness inshallah, also a good brother will listen to your problems and advise you or help you what would a psychiatrist do, he gets paid to tell you useless things.
