    Ironically that is how to fight depression, changing your mind. Any technique that has proven effective has been exactly: stop being sad.

    I’ve tutored at least a few people that have needed me to put their hand on a mouse and show them how to navigate an IDE.

      Medication helps a lot of people, and CBT is very effective for others. I’ve never heard of a “technique” that’s effective against depression that can be reasonably described like that, but I’m not an expert. Would love some concrete examples.
