How do I help someone who is suffering from depression

[Emne]

I have a friend who is depressed or at least psychologically unhealthy. What can I do to help?

[zoey101]

From my experience with depression, sometimes just having someone there to vent to helps. Depending on the situation, your friend may not be looking for a solution to it, just an outlet for it. I know I personally pushed a lot of my friends away because of my depression and that only made it worse. Don't let it consume you, but helping bear the load is sometimes all that is needed.

If that makes sense.

@zoey101 Thanks for the advice!

No problem, just be patient. And don't take it personal if it seems like no progress is being made. It's not a "you" issue.
