How can i help a depresed person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The best way: To help a depressed person is to help her/him to find and consult with a good mental health professional. Look around, ask your regular doctor for a referral. Please refrain to take on your own shoulders the person's depression. It is way too heavy to be carried by a non professional. Just accept that this is the best you can do. Remember that it is a lot already!
