We all have ups and downs, and usually it's just best to accept them. But perhaps you are concerned about someone who seems to be depressed. Maybe he or she never feels like doing anything and never even wants to talk. Is it best for you not to interfere?Should you just sit tight and wait for him or her to get out of it themselves?
There are ways you can help. Here are a few.
1. Get the person to talk. Try to get him or her to tell you not only about the depression itself, but about the fears, wishes, or losses that underlie it. This is often difficult, of course, but it can be very useful. If nothing else, it will reassure the person that someone cares.

4. If you are struggling with depression yourself, make yourself do something, however trivial (small) it may seem. Make your bed or clean up your room, for example. You will be able to tell yourself you've accomplished (完成) something.
5. If serious depression reaction lasts for more than two weeks, you should begin to seek medical help.
