I do meditation. I don’t suffer from depression, however. It has helped me in living a more tranquil inner life. Less anger, more understanding, not just of myself but of others as well. It has definitely fostered more human connection and the value of vulnerability. How? I developed more awareness of what I cling to, which is the source of almost all my undesirable emotions. YMMV.

I like to use Calm most times but I started out by studying Mahayana Buddhism and some advaita. I practice meditation in accordance with those ideas.
