How do I overcome depression without using medication?

Can depression be overcome without medication?

• I am sick and tired of being depressed. I would estimate I have been depressed for 7-8 months. Before, I had strong mind power and was able to 'block out' bad things that were happening, I then became sort of emotionless but was content and enjoyed my life. Now, I feel like my mind is worn out and I can't convince myself that things will get better. I have lost enjoyment in things that I used to like and became generally disinterested in things. I NEED to overcome this, I feel worn out and just want to be happy, energetic and positive again. I don't want to have to take tablets just to keep me happy, I want to achieve happiness through developing a more positive mind and 'tuning' back into the world. How can I overcome this?
