It depends on the nature of the depression, which I basically categorize as physical, bored, sad and despair (these can overlap with each other).
Physical just means you have issues with your brain chemistry full stop, these are extremely rare but do occur, and can be alleviated through chemical intervention.
Bored depression is pretty much what it says on the tin, you're just bored of life, and with that eventually comes an apathy towards existence, it can usually just be alleviated through engagement with activities you find enjoyable (if the activities you usually find so aren't, do something different).
Sad depression is an emotional reaction to outside stimuli, which can range from not getting your favourite cake that day, to seeing your friend's head get blown off in front of you. Highly dependent on both your emotional sensitivity and the stressor, if the scarring is too intense it may necessitate CBT and/or chemical intervention.
Despair is the realisation that life is a waste of time, either yours or all life, and that you may as well be dead. Highly dependent on the intellectual depth of the person's belief in this apparent reality.
The symptoms can be softened somewhat through chemical intervention, but to truly fix the problem would require a complete refutation and replacement of their beliefs on life, and speaking from personal experience, nobody has an answer beyond religion, which I also reject as an answer.

Going to the point of partial burnthrough. If you suvive it the neurocircuits for depression will be thoroughly fried through too.

There can be no "cure" because depression is not an individual disease. Depression is a natural reaction to an inhumane society. I am a manlet for example. I have always been bullied, ostracized, rejected and neglected. It would be highly pathological NOT to be a lonely miserable piece of shit after years of such treatment. Telling a depressed guy to go to therapy is like sending a black guy to therapy after he got discriminated against by racists. Blaming the victim doesn't cure the cause. The cause is an inherently evil society.
This is, if you're talking about real depression. In case you only mean narcissistic tiktok attention seeking meme "depression", just stop being retarded.

Depends if the Depression is a symptom or if it is Chronic Depression.
From what I understand, you have on one side the people with an actual chemical imbalance in the brain. They live a good life but are still depressed no matter what they do, so these people need an actual SSRI or other type of anti-depressants.Then there's the people who have issues and feel depressed.
Usually fixing the issue resolves the problem.
But the one solution I would try first and foremost is exercise, sport and fitness.
It's incredible the effects of physical exercise when it comes to mental health.
A lot of men in particular benefit in terms of mental health through fitness and exercise and it's well documented.When it comes to depression and suicide, specifically in men, it revolves around beeing or feeling useful.
The men who kill themselves often have "nothing to live for" and therefore feel "useless".
It could be a natural mechanism for nature to cull the individuals of a group that are unproductive.
At least that's what I like to think, I'm not sure if the evidence or research support this.

I personally recommend reading the anatomy of melancholy (Robert Burton)It’s a very unique book, but enjoyable. A encyclopedia of depression, almost, written during a time when the condition wasn’t understood.

You have to stop posting on 4chan and go out and live it. Argue belligerently and condescendingly at the bar, in the bus, in the street. Kill Jews and beat up immigrants, rape women, children and other men. Draw obscene images in public spaces and make bizarre comments unprompted. You'll feel natural and resplendently pure within days.
