Encourage Treatment
Depression is a very treatable illness. Medications, counseling, and self-help measures can help a depressed person feel better and get back to a normal life. The first step is to visit a doctor or other mental health professional for a thorough evaluation. If you can, be present at the evaluation to offer support and help answer the doctor's questions. If the depressed person is reluctant to seek help, call the doctor yourself and ask for advice.
