How do you treat a depressed person like ?

With any friendship you just have to be there and willing to listen.Depression can be hard to understand and to deal with sometimes.Just be your self and do not always bringe up the subject.A depressed doesn't need to hear every day they are depressed.Just be a friend to them like you would anyone else.

Well, sometimes its unavoidable that we feel depressed for the day..but for the health its not a good side, i believe in Meditation which will balance our mind and helps to be normal at situations.

It depends how close the person is to me. But, if totally depressed, I can try bringing her/him in a place where she can refresh her mind, a place where I know she/he will enjoy most! People like them them to be attend to or if its worst, maybe they needed a medical help!

Being depressed is not something that should be ignored. If you have a friend who you suspect under depression and come to you to talk, be there and be a good listener. Offer some comfort words. Perhaps you can suggest a weekend getaway. Try to help him/her in any way you can.

Depression can be different for each individual and the levels can change. I myself have suffered from depression and I think if you can it is best to talk about it and try to get to the cause. So at times like that you do need a good listener, but also that can also suggest advise. NEVER tell someone who is depressed to "snap out of it". They can't! It's as simple as that. Just be there for them and try to understand a little of what they are feeling. Let them know that you care about them. Stay in contact, just a phone call or even a text will help. Suggest they see a doctor and find out about support services and self help groups. Don't say "There's always someone worse off than you are" or "stop feeling sorry for yourself". This will not help. Remember that they cannot help being affected by depression.
