How can i help my friend who is suffering depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Encourage them to: Encourage them to find a good therapist and make sure they do. Invite them to go out to events. Talk to them on the phone. Do things that make them laugh. Go on brisk walks with them or exercise together. Listen to them and if you do not know how to help them explain that that is why they need a good therapist in addition to friends like you. They are lucky to have you!
