Depression is extremely complex, there are many things going on in ones brain during the episode of overwhelming sadness. To help someone from depression the very first step you need to take is to understand if you we’re in their shoes fighting. Really envision that, depression is serious so take those suffering seriously and tell them how much you care about them, try and remind that person every single day that you care.

Hold onto them like they are everything to you even if they hurt you because sometimes people who suffer from depression get frustrated easily just because they’r holding onto so much pain so they need someone to lean on during this season.

Meditate and exercise with them, one of the hardest things about depression is just simply getting out of your bed or even the house can be the absolute most difficult barrier and it’s blocking those from feeling happier.

Call them on the phone daily. With Covid it’s getting more and more difficult to stay in touch so just simply check up on them with a simple phone call: “How’s it going?” And most times then none they have something big to say that will shock you.
