I think more often I suffer from burnout between work and my side projects than I do depression. BUT, depression and burnout have been linked by several studies in recent years.
I preach self care to everyone I know. If you don't feel like going to a meetup because being around people is just going to wear you out. Go home and enjoy some downtime. Have a work best friend who knows when you're having a rough day and will be your person. Take a coworker who's been putting in tons of hours out to lunch, coffee or a happy hour. Sometimes just getting out of the office is good for people.
Personally, I meditate daily. It helps calm my brain down, and has been proven to help depression and anxiety.
