How to handle a person with depressions?

To help you understand what you can do, here are three steps that you can take to make a difference when you believe that someone close to you is dealing with a mental health disorder like depression.

Step 1. Understand The Symptoms And Warning Signs Of Depression

There’s a big difference between a bout of sadness and depression. However, it can be hard to differentiate the two and understand what someone is going through if we do not know exactly what depression looks like. The first step to take towards helping someone who is depressed is taking time to educate yourself further on what depression may look like when we are not the one experiencing symptoms.
