Have a friend who's kind of depressed and seriously needs help. Who can he talk to, a psychologist or ? |

A therapist. Please if you have time on your hand, your friend needs you, Explorers. Go and stay with him. That's the very best you can offer right now. Take the him out, goof around, spend money if you can. Take his mind off whatever is depressing him. Do anything possible. Better than crying later. We all need each other. Cheers mate and regards to you friend. One love! 16 Likes |

dfrost: as good as this sound and can help a little, it is not the best thing to do. i have heard of depressed people being looked after and the few minutes they could get alone they committed suicide. explorer a depressed person is one who has lost touch with GOD, they are truly vulnurable in that state. my best treatment is for you to create an atmosphere for the person to be closer to GOd. you can send short msg for them to listen to r if you are with them play it intentionally and pray the holy spirit helps to salvage the situation. your faith can help another persons dieing faith. depression is real, it is deadly a fatal. 4 Likes |

Pls in addition to the suggestions above if you can't be with this person get someone to always be with him to always assure him that things will turn around for good someday. Sometimes we assume we are very strong but right inside we know we are weak. May God help us

Explorers: Originally, he needs a good therapist...But since Nigeria isn't giving us the compulsory opportunity to make use of a therapist.... We often use music and good sight seeing to reminisce on the journey so far to be able to talk to ourselves or meet a friend you can confide in... Personally, I talk to a random stranger. I drive around and probably pick a random person and express my worries to the person and I get the necessary advice and I try on it. 1 Like |

You need to know the cause of his depression before attempting to help. If his depression stems from occurrence of an event; say, he lost something, someone or so, it's still better. Time heals such wounds. However, if he can't pinpoint to the cause or if he is void of feelings (sadness), that's where problem is. I don't think people get healed from emptiness and void. 2 Likes |

If you look around you, it seems like everything is working against you in your everyday life, in your finances, you love life and even in your spiritual life. It's like you keep praying and nobody is answering your prayers. People around you seem to be flourishing in every aspect of their lives and same can not be said about you. Or you can't summon the energy to do anything. you just want to sleep all day, you've lost interest in the simplest of things and the things that used to bring you joy are no longer doing that. You want to talk to someone but there's no one to unburden yourself to, Or nobody seems to understand you, or they tell you to snap out of it. I understand how you feel and know what you're going through. I too was in your shoes until i came across a therapist while looking for solution to my problem because like you, no one around me could understand what I was going through. I don't want anyone to feel like that again, that is why I'm bringing this information to you. go online and on the outpost health platform and you'll be able to see a therapist at an affordable price and from the comfort of your home. Yes you don't have to leave your room. cool right? the app today from the google playstore or the apple IOS store. Be good!

[quote author=kingreign post=117545714] Regardless of the cause the best thing to do is to refer him to a psychologist or psychiatrist. Either one you can find them on the out post health platform. 1 Like |

[quote author=iyors post=117550082][/quote] Not every problem needs psychiatric evaluation. If a person is broke, he will feel depressed. The cure for being broke is to offer him a means of income or money. If a person is hungry, you offer means of feeding to him or give him food. It is very simple and doesn’t need any prayer or psychiatrist assistance. 1 Like |

Explorers:Talk to a doctor. Depression is a medical (psychiatric) condition that needs to be treated. While there are different means in treating it, it would also make sense for it to be rightly diagnosed before we conclude it is depression and not any other medical condition or grief. While you are with your friend, I encourage you take him/her to see a doctor ASAP. 1 Like |

kingreign:The term "depression" is a medial condition that must satisfy the DSM V criteria before diagnosis is made. So being sad or acutely stressed by events does not equate depression.

kingreign:Oga, depression is a medical condition. Being sad or feeling stressed because of lack of money does not equate depression. There are criteria to be met before a diagnosis of depression is made. That is the whole point I am trying to make. |
