A member asked:

How can i help someone recover from depression?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Support: Depression management requires a lot of psychosocial support from friends and families. When depressed, you can feel like you're on an island by yourself. Be there for them, support in whatever ways it seems appropriate.
