Hello Lybrate User. Depression is a complicated, multifaceted condition. The general scientific consensus is that it is a biologically-based illness, although there is still some debate over this. For the purposes of this question, I'll assume that you're referring to the illness of major depression, and not just to a transient low mood, or to what most people feel when they say "Oh, I feel depressed. There are a few important things you can do if you want to join the fight against their illness: Offer your support through tangible expressions of friendship and empathy. Don't just say "Oh that sounds so tough" or "I'm so sorry, I'm here for you. But ask them how they're sleeping. What they think about when they feel their worst. Call them often, even when they don't pick up or have short answers. Be tenacious. Don't give up in your efforts to reach out. It's almost impossible to reach out to a depressed person too frequently, if you're already close with them. They likely won't be in the mood to proactively contact you, and may not seem like they appreciate your actions, but remember, they're suffering from an illness. Try to keep them active, even if they refuse activities and outings. As above, just keep at it, keep asking, keep suggesting, don't ever give up. Suggest therapy, suggest medication, talk with them about how they're dealing with both and what issues are coming up.
