Depression is a state of mind... and when you being to separate out your sense of Self from your mind, then it becomes easier to deal with depressed thoughts. Anything that helps you to become more conscious, with a more disciplined mind is useful... I teach yoga and found it invaluable to overcome my depression.
The mind is just a tool for the Self, like an arm, or the lungs. Sometimes the thoughts that we have overwhelm us and we react to them and say we are depressed... but WE are not depressed, it's the mind that experiences despressed thoughts... access your True Self, and you will never fear depression again.

Much joy,
