The Buddha

``Transient are all conditioned things'': when one discerns this with wisdom, then is one disgusted with ill; this is the path to purity.
``Sorrowful are all conditioned things'': when one discerns this with wisdom, then is one disgusted with ill; this is the path to purity.
``All Dhammas are without a self'': when one discerns this with wisdom, then is one disgusted with ill; this is the path to purity.
Dhammapada v. 77-79


His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Suffering originates from various causes and conditions. But the root cause of our pain and suffering lies in our own ignorant and undisciplined state of mind. The happiness we seek can be attained only through the purification of our minds.

The best solution to purify the karma of having depression is to do the purification practice of Vajrasattva. As long as the karma isn't purified, you'll continue to suffer from depression again in future lives.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche
