It's important to recognize the difference between short term sadness and depression. Everyone gets the blues, or ordinary sadness at various times during life. That's normal. If your dog dies, you are going to feel sad for a bit. (or maybe happy if you didn't like the dog) When the sadness is ongoing for a period of time, that's when to start thinking about depression.

We all want to achieve a sense of well being. Here a list of top tips for overcoming depression:

• Move your body. Find out what type of exercise works for you and do it.
• Diet - cut out junk food, be sure you are getting good nutrition.
• Get the right amount of sleep.
