I've found that hot sauce on some crackers, or jalapeno peppers can do the trick -- it doesn't make me "happy", but moderates some of the "despair" feeling.

Yeah, our evolutionary response to the capsaicin arms raise was to push out endorphins and adrenaline to overcome the pain to get at the nutrition. As a result, a decent concentration gives you a nice little high to go with the vitamins.

For sure, when someone is in the depths of a bad depression, they may know what they have to do to get out of it but still be unable to do that. Therapy, drugs and family intervention are all good for getting people to the point where they can maintain mental health with OPs three things. Those things might work when "pure mindcontrol" doesn't.
I don't have any difficulties myself with being self-aware about it at all, on the contrary. The major difficulty for me is using that knowledge to do something with it. Not sure what is worse: being depressed, or being depressed and knowing that you are and realizing all your thoughts are going downwards into the wrong spiral and not being able to do shit about it. Well, except hard exercise or meditation or long walks etc, but pure mindcontrol doesn't work :]
