Supportive: Be supportive and educate yourself about depression. Nami is a good support and educational resource for mental illness. They may be able to help find a support group for depression in your area.Perhaps your friend may be more willing to go to a group with you first to ease them into treatment. If your friend ever becomes suicidal, don't hesitate to call 911 as they may need forced into treatment.

Therapy: Continue to be empathic, compassionate and let her of him know how much you care and how hard it is to see her suffer. Best.
