Hello madp!
I'm wondering what are the best ways to support a friend going through depression? You previously mentioned that they tend to lack the energy to do things (like exersize) or go places...would it be best to strongly encourage them (i.e., drag em out)? Encourage and then leave them alone? Let them know consistently that you are there for them? Be a source of positivity?
Like many people, I have friends going through very tough times. This one in particular is aready receiving counseling and I believe is taking a prescription for meds. They're doing their part, as far as I can see.
I don't want to get *over-involved*, but I do want to be as effective a support as I could possibly be.
