What would u do if ur best friend fell into depression? He/she is so depressed and isnt thinking rationally that thoughts of committing suicide crossed his/her mind several times and he/she even tried to kill himself/herself in front of u.

What can u, as a best friend, do to help? (Besides asking him/her to see a doc for medications.)

first try to find out wat cause the depression then try to help and solve him bah

to fall in love is always easy
to start a relationship is always simple
to build it, is always tough
to maintain it, is 'better said than done'
to break off, is 'easier said than done'
to remain friends after u broke off, is never possible
to forget the memories is 'always doing but never succeeding'
to heal the pain within is hard and tough and never near simple
but one has to try to heal your own heart...

Already found out what causes it.. He/she is afraid to solve it. Fear of the outcome. What to do?

Help from frens quite limited oso. Most impt is the person himself/herself willing to stand up n face the problem. I myself ever face depression. To-date, i still have bouts of depression from time to time.

Hence, self help is very impt. Next, support from family/frens

Yeah i agree.. support from family/friends is very important!

But how did u know that u went into depression? Did u realized it urself? Or someone told u? And how did u deal with it?

Found myself like to cry from no reason irregardless of time/place esp at nite when it's quiet. Mood swing alot lor. Also hv insomnia lor. Go into self denial mood.

C doc n took anti-depressant pills, sleeping pills etc. Find things to keep myself busy. Find frens out. Oso try not to tink abt those problems (can escape it temp but still got to face it eventually) so it's better to face the problem asap. Earlier the person can face it, the faster he/she can get out of it

huh? he/she tried to kill himself/herself in front of someone?

that means is a she liao. guy won't do such a silly thing... :biggrin4:

Depression is all about inability to face the truth. Life is all about facing problems, we cant escape that. If you are sincere in helping your friend to get out of depression, go to the library and read up on the subject.

However, do prepare to engage professional help if things got worse. If you cant do it alone, get someone better to help you with it. Good Luck!

Friend and family can help him/her only a limed time. Is still have up to him/her to face the problems going around them. what can do now is let them think of postive thinking and don't let think of negative thoughts. Ask to go out meet friend or someone very close to them try to make them happy and someone to talk to.

Cos my mum also have depression so we have to 24 hrs to look after her.

i think if he/she is your best friend, you'll know how to 'read' him so then you'll know he is in depression lor. i think i would try to know wad it is adn then help him ba.

Well this concerns the life of your friend if he has already attempted suicide in front of you even.

You should listen to what he has to say and be willing and ready to help him. You are his best friend! He needs someone to talk to, to pour out his thoughts and feelings and it seems that he is trying to tell you something! (by attempting suicide infront of you) Focus all your attention on him since it is obvious that he wants someone to talk to. Try to let his family understand his problems of depression also. Because this thing will only get worse without treatment, and the consequences are irreversible. If he decides to do somet
