Try meditation, it got me out of depression after 3 years of pain, seeing a lot of psychiatrists and taking multiple antidepressants. There is always a reason why we are depressed. We need to go deep into ourselves to find it, there is no other way.

Meditation is useful for some people.
It's not useful for everyone, and it's sometimes harmful. The risks of harm tend to be ignored by people delivering meditation and mindfulness.

The evidence from cognitive behavioural therapy suggests this is not always true. For some (but not all) people there isn't any reason, and it's certainly not always some buried trauma.
