My friend is depressed?!
Question: My friend is depressed!?
so I was doing some research on depression for my english homework to understand and be able to relate to the main character in the book we're reading & because I'm interested in therapy & I want to be a therapist when I get older I got into it & I learned many symptoms of depression and what causes it and what you should do and stuff and I noticed that my friend shows all those symptoms, I mean I know that she gets depressed out of no where sometimes but its over her boyfriend and she gets low self esteem thinking her boyfriend is going to break up with her and I'm starting to get worried I really don't want her getting hurt because before we got separated in high school we were in the same junior high & we've had her go to the guidance counselor & she's cut herself before & I don't like seeing her like this:/ please help someone!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You should sit her down and talk to her about it!. You don't want to just assume that's whats wrong with her!. Once she opens up about it let her know what she can do to cope and if she is willing to get help have her see a doctor, they can give her anti-depression prescriptions that will help her out alot!Www@Answer-Health@Com
If she is cutting herself you need to tell your parents, or her parents, so that she can get help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
