It won't cure it but making positive thinking a regular habit will absolutely help treat them.

If only it were that easy for those of us with real depression. I'd love to just sunshine and roses the darkness away. But it doesn't work like that

@PrivateHell you sound like your still depressed.
@Science78 really? Is this your professional opinion? Sorry, but diagnosing online with someone you don't interact with is as worthless as trying to "fix" a depressed person, or telling them to cheer up.

@PrivateHell It's not that simple, but the principles are actually that same. We now know the brain's chemistry has a lot to do with depression, and that's where meds can help when administered correctly. But "thinking positive" encompasses a shift in one's worldview, and new and broader perspective on life's events and new insights gained through self examination.

Depression is one of the most terrifying places to inhabit I know of, but it doesn't have to be as bad as it is for a lot of people.

The problem is many people look for a quick solution that requires little or no effort. To a degree, that's understandable. Depression is such a time consuming and bone-crushing obligation that hijacks 100% attention. But, for a cure, it takes much more than, "I will be positive today." A cure really requires a customized approach that gets to the root cause of the depression. It's not going away easy.

It might just like negative thoughts increase depression.

No. And to some extent depression impacts your ability to think positively in the first place.
