Maybe it would help to describe what depression really is.
Depression is not something you can just "snap out of." It's caused by an imbalance of brain chemicals, along with other factors. Like any serious medical condition, depression needs to be treated.


Its from this site

People who are feeling down, maybe due to an event in their life, may have the ability to 'snap out of it' (a good friend can help here), but for anyone who is suffering from clinical depression, they need proper treatment. This usually consists of medication and counselling. However, people react in different ways to medication, so it is usually a case of trying to see which drugs are effective. This can take time, but is worth persevering with.

Here is another site that describes depression and how to cope with it.
