In Australia, 75% of su***de deaths are male, yet men are far less likely than women to seek help for depression.

If one more person tells you to look on the bright side, you may be forgiven for wanting to scream.

Being told to think positively when you are depressed does not feel like encouragement. It feels like being handed the bill for your own suffering.

But there is a real question underneath all that unhelpful advice. Does the way you think actually affect depression?

The short answer is yes, though almost never in the way it is usually presented. This article explains the difference between genuine cognitive change, which is well supported by evidence, and toxic positivity, which tends to make things worse.

There is a particular cruelty to the way loneliness and depression work together.

Depression tells you that people would rather not hear from you, that you are a burden, that you have nothing worth offering. So you withdraw. And withdrawing deepens the depression, which makes the message more convincing the next time.

I want to be clear about something. Withdrawing when you are depressed is a symptom, not a character flaw.

The good news is that connection is one of the strongest protective factors we have, and it can be rebuilt deliberately even when you do not feel like it. This article covers how, including what to do when you have almost no energy for it.

Loneliness and depression feed each other. A Gold Coast psychologist explains the link and practical ways to rebuild connection when you want to withdraw.

If you have tried therapy for depression before and it did not help much, that does not mean therapy will not work for you.

Far more often it means the approach was not matched to what was actually driving the depression. Someone caught in harsh self-critical thinking needs something quite different from someone carrying unprocessed trauma, or someone who is profoundly isolated.

There are many types of therapy for depression, and they work in genuinely different ways. Knowing the difference puts you in a much stronger position to ask for what you need.

Here is a look at eight evidence-based options and how to work out which one suits your situation.
