Great tips from someone with life experience of depression, thanks. Upped.
Thanks for your great content about steem power and the importance of buying steem when it is cheap and powering up which motivated me to write my recent post- I mentioned you there-feel free to check it out. More success to you.
Great post, nice to hear it from someone who suffers from depression, and know how to behave in such situations!
Thank you for your reply.
Therapy is a reasonable choice if you can afford it. I would think long and hard and do a ton of research before accepting any offered anti-psychotics as an adjunct to open discussions.
Listening to someone who wants to talk about their depression is the best thing a friend can do for another who is suffering from depression. Let them talk. Let them know you care.
Love may not be a cure all but it can help your friend gain the strength to question the need for medication. I'm not saying medication is necessarily bad for some.
I'm just saying it's clearly a problem in the making for many who just need more time to deal with their feelings on their own or with the help of family and friends.
