My friend depression has walked with me for decades. We finally came to an understanding. I take care of myself every day and depression fades into the background allowing me to enjoy using the engineering bits of my brain in balance. Getting enough sleep, eating well, drinking enough water, being grateful for what I have, exercise, and a community of friends have been key. Nature walks, yoga, and Argentine Tango work for me.
