Depression Session!?

Hi I think to help him it's best to approach anyone in his family to whom your friend is close to because maybe he must have one person he trusts.By doing this he may be able to open up his heart to the person as it's obvious that whatever is troubling is weighing down on him.He is lucky to have you as a friend so be there for him and try to help him to see the positive side of his life.

Try to be encouraging. Encourage him to talk with a trusted family member. Try to listen to him without putting him down or being judgemental toward him. You are a good friend to him.

Sometimes all he needs might just be your presence...in other words, be with him and lend him your listening ear if he ever wants to talk...if he doesn't want to talk, it's fine...just keep him company...but maybe you could let him know that you will be there for him (and really mean it) if he ever wants to share what's bothering him...
