1) Give a way to open up.
Many such depressed people feel like they are alone in the world. No one can understand them. Therefore, if you suspect that your friend is in a depressed state, give him a way to open up with words. Let him open up. What's going on? What are you feeling? Please let me know the best way to solve it. Tell me that you are not alone in the world and that there are friends who can help you solve it.

2) Listen carefully.
If a friend opens up, listen carefully. Pay attention. After that, how do you feel about the place....I sympathize, How would it be if I were you? Please express my condolences.

3) Give comfort and discussion.
How do you want it to happen again....What is still happening.... Please discuss. Until he was satisfied enough. How do you want this situation to be? Ask to open up. Whether it should be or not, we will solve it together. That there are many people who will support you without having to feel alone. If you need any help, you will be comfortable and supportive, and open the way for him to discuss his inner difficulties.

4) Help as much as you can.
Is the friend living alone? If that is the case, you should create a relationship with others. Many people who are especially depressed feel lonely without anyone close to them, and the more lonely they are, the more lonely they are. The more thoughts, The more depressed it becomes. When you are close with others, tell others and ask for help. Tell me to support you. From that, doing work where you can work together with others, Being united with the organization, there is no time to think about depression and things will happen. You can also do sports together. Doing environmental cleaning together, Playing the guitar and singing songs together, etc. If you can help in any other way, please help.

5) Have them read. Or tell me what kind of things you read.
It is usually similar to the problem that the friend is having. Read books on how to solve problems. Or read it and share it with your friends.
“No one in this book is in a worse situation than you. Just like you. But he is even worse than you. Finally, how did he become? How I overcame it.” etc. tell me how to solve the problem indirectly even if not directly.
“Oh…even in a situation like mine, they can still overcome it.”
“Is there a situation worse than mine? I was depressed about it. If it were me... how would I do in their place?"
Make thoughts like "I can solve this problem..." Once that thought returns, he will realize that the problem he is facing has a solution.
That's why I ask you to read books with similar problems. When he read, he calmed down and he was able to find a solution to his problem.

Many depressed people don't talk much about anything, and have a habit of doing whatever they want to do when they suddenly have an idea. That's why, instead of being alone, you should surround yourself with a supportive and happy circle of friends as much as possible. That way, he will be able to know and help when something happens. If the situation worsens, you should definitely consult a doctor.
May we all overcome depression. #Bawa101
