How do you deal with a coworker that is constantly complaining?

They are very emotional and in their mind...everything’s stupid, everything sucks and every task or discussion is pointless. Am I just dealing with a depressed person?

sounds like it but if they do their job just put up with it coworkers don't have to be friends.
@texasdaddydom yeah I’m putting up with it the best I can. I just wish there was less of an emotional response when I ask for things. I’m not mean and really try to motivate and develop this person, but it’s hitting a brick wall now.

@DecafD agreed bad for morale and they have to want to change to change.I would not suggest trying to improve them as you said co-worker unless you become management over them not your problem. I can not think of a polite way to say cut the emo crap crybaby maybe you will have better luck.
