I'm concerned about a friend who's struggling with depression. What can I do to help?

One thing you can do is offer to spend time with your friend and listen to their feelings without judgment. Let them know that they're not alone, and remind them of the things they have going for them. Offer to connect them with mental health professionals if needed, or provide information on local support groups. Additionally, encourage them to reach out to friends and family members for emotional support.
