World Health Organization: “Living with someone with depression?”

Here is how you can help:

– Talk to them and offer your support
– Encourage them to seek professional help
– Help them with everyday activities
– Encourage regular eating, sleeping and exercise
– Encourage them to focus on the positive, rather than the negative
– Be patient – recovery can take time

In order to support others, you need to take care of yourself too.
