What is the best way to help someone who is dealing with anxiety/depression?

@Shewolfiie69 I have heard that people dealing with mental issues have to want to help themselves. But sometimes they do and they don't know how, or are afriad to.

Let me tell u something sweetheart! Yes! It’s fear that keeps some ppl in a state of negativity! Some enjoy feeling the way they do because they get attention! There are not black or white answers...

@Shewolfiie69 perfectly observed. They just love the attention and the prescription drug that they get. Cause no actually depressed or bipolar will advertise that they are so.. But we can see many using that as their "Name Card" ...

@in10RjFox I really dont think she enjoys feeling this way, and its fairly recent, not for very long

@NewKidInTown Who is the SHE you are referring to ?

@in10RjFox my wife

@NewKidInTown oh!.. we were talking in general, which need not be true for all case. Anything is case to case basis actually. Anything happened recently that caused such depression ? like loss of any family member or friend etc.?

All you need to do is to find ways to bring them into the future (into something new) .. and not let them dwell in the past .. Try to write emails/ send messages, and avoid phone calls for it can disturb them often. Emails / letters are powerful tool that can make them read in full .. Surprise her with a letter by post, where you able to put your thoughts in full and how you want her back in action ..
