You can't. And you don't want to.

The SECOND somebody gets the idea that somebody else has the responsibility for 'saving them' because of 'their depression' THAT persons life becomes a misery !

Depression falls into one of two catagories.
Either it's that persons own definition of depression. In which case only THEY know how to lift their mood.
OR it's Clinically Diagnosed by a Doctor or therapist. In which case the subject should have coping mechanisms or drugs given to them specifically for that purpose.
@Picklebobble2 perfect concise answer👍
