Dealing with someone who has severe depression can be very challenging. I think the first thing we need to do is to acknowledge that depression is an illness and it’s not the person’s fault.
We should try to help them with daily tasks. Depression can make it difficult for them to do even the simplest things, like getting out of bed or taking a shower.
We should take care of ourselves too. Dealing with someone with severe depression can be emotionally exhausting, so we should make sure we are taking care of our own mental health as well.
