Now when it comes to soothing people who are going through depression one of the many things that come to mind are counseling and medication. While those are two mainstream ways to deal with depression, there is one way that is subtle and does help in getting things back to a happy state. It isn't going to totally cure depression but it is one piece of the puzzle when it comes to helping that individual lift their depressed state and that is having a clean home.
Don't believe me? Here's why it helps: 
1. Distraction - In all cases with a depressed individual there is something deeply bothering them that they just can't stop thinking about. Cleaning your home is a great distraction that diverts attention away from that problem. It's not exactly easy to let your mind wander into sad thoughts as you are focused in on a task at hand.
2. "I did it!" - After a home is cleaned meticulously the result is usually a very organiz
ed and neat area that looks very nice. The feelings of satisfaction and positive reinforcement that you are you doing something positive is another way to divert all that negative emotion packed inside. Especially if you did it all on your own, you will have a feeling of accomplishment.

Ongoing reinforcement - Now that you have cleaned your home once and have experienced the benefits of a clean home. You are now in the positive thought vibration and you have to recognize that. Now that you are aware of this, cleaning your home will become like a "booster" if you ever begin to feel down. Simply distract your mind again, and get a clean home - good trade off don't you think?
