A member asked:
Is there a way to help a friend who is clinically depressed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Support and steer: Support for your friend is important here. But ultimately, steering them toward treatment is the best thing to do for a true friend. Offer to go with them, drive them, even go into the session with the psychiatrist or psychologist. Friends tend to respond well to this.
