Since your poor Alig has been saying this at other places it is your right to hear it here.
Depression has two aspects-it consists of two things.

One part is disillusion with this perishable world. This is good thing. Some people will not like it but mark it anyway-you might start liking it one day. The funny thing is that even after this realization that this world is not worth getting attached with people keep trying to get attached with it. This is silly. But we digress.

The other thing, the second part of depression, is disappointment in Mercy of God.
This is bad.
This is denial of reality.
This is falsehood in which the person under depression has started believing.
The extant of God's Mercy is unfathomable.
He is Most Merciful of all merciful.
Muslims are reminded every Friday (and indeed many more times) that do not despair of the Mercy of Allah for He is Oft-Forgiving and Merciful.
How much Merciful?
Well much more then your requirements provided you turn to him.

And really this second part is the one that one has to come out of. How to do that?
Just ponder about the extant of the Mercy of Allah(SWT).

Some of you are familiar with the incident that there was a user at one of the Islamic discussion forums who called himself a depressed Muslim. Soon he realized, as others too pointed out, that a Muslim can not really be depressed. Allahu Akbar. This brother later on changed his user name.

So dear researchers, the way every Islam is the solution to suicide problem, it is also the solution to the depression problem. Just start pondering about the extant of the Mercy of Allah(SWT).

May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon beloved Prophet Muhammed.

That was the end to the present invitation and all Praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
