How can you make someone sad feel better?
user
One of the most important things for feeling happier in general is to maintain relationships with people.  This can help us feel better for several reasons.  For one thing, close relationships can make life seem more meaningful.  People often feel more pride in their lives because they have close relationships with their families, friends, and significant others.  From a practical standpoint, social ties also help us feel more secure.  Close relationships with other people make us feel more hopeful in general, and less lonely and isolated.  This can help to improve feelings of happiness and well-being.  Unfortunately, some of these kinds of social ties can be lost through natural life changes, such as moving away from friends and family who live far away, or suffering a loss of someone close to you.  However, you can work to bolster relationships that are important to you, such as building stronger ties with family members or friends you may not see often.  A few practical tips for building strong social ties that are important to you include:

-   Visit friends and family members you don’t see very often.
-   Help someone else or seek help from someone who cares for you. 
-   Start an online community for like-minded people, or join

How long should someone feel sad before it turns into depression?
user
It is normal to feel sad or “down” now and then.  Modern life is very busy and stressful, and it is common for people to feel a bit sad occasionally.  However, there is a difference between normal feelings of sadness and sadness or depression that requires treatment.  While we all feel sadness or depression now and then, some people may feel negative or sad emotions most of the time.  Sad emotions may feel stuck.  They can cause people to feel hopeless all the time, or constantly questioning their worth.  This is not healthy, and may lead to persistent problems.  Sadness and depression that continues for weeks or months can sometimes require treatment to help resolve.  Some of the warning signs of depression that may be helpful to watch out for include:

-   Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or worthlessness
-   Changes in appetite, sleeping habits, energy level, or emotional/physical functioning
-   Worrying too much about negative events, or too little about the positive parts of your life
-   Avoiding or producing negative thoughts, especially about your worth or the future
-   Persistent difficulty working, engaging in social, learning, or recreational activities
-   Signs of thinking you would be
