How can I help a friend with depression?
assistant
One way to help a friend who is struggling with depression is to be supportive and understanding. Let them know you are there for them and that you care about how they're feeling. Listen without judgment, and let them talk about their feelings. Offer to accompany them to appointments or therapy sessions if possible. Remind them of the things they enjoy and try to find activities they can participate in. Ask questions about what might be causing their depression and offer to connect them with resources like mental health professionals or support groups.
