With one in six adults in the UK experiencing moderate to severe depression, there is a lot of (largely) well-meaning advice available, from those who have or haven’t had it themselves.

From taking up exercise or mindfulness, to finding a new hobby or ways to embrace the positive, others are quick to offer ideas on how to overcome the fog, some of which is incredibly helpful and some that is not.
