PREVENTION:
RIGHT COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY:
What to say...
“I’m here for you.”
Tell them that they are not alone. Tell them that you are there to support them.
“This is not your fault.”
People suffering from depression often feel inappropriate guilt and this can worsen the anguish. Remind them that it’s not their fault, and just like any medical condition, this can be treated and cured.
“Can I help you with your therapist’s/doctor’s appointments?”
All too often, in our country, people have to seek professional help alone. Support your loved one in getting professional help and remind them of their appointments. Support them in their journey of healing.
What not to say...
Don’t use trite or evident statements like ‘Be Positive’. A person suffering from depression wants to be positive, but they just can’t help feeling sad. Telling them to “be positive” is like telling a person with an ankle sprain to stop limping and start running.
Depression is not a luxury, a weakness or a choice, so avoid statements like “Snap out of it.”“It’s all in your mind.” “Stop feeling sorry for yourself.” Or worse: “Relax, have a drink, and forget about it.”
