How can I help someone who is depressed?

Have you ever been into depression and got out of it later? If yes, how?

Are you a related professional? If yes, can you advise me on the question?

It took time for me to get out of mine and I had someone who cared for me and helped me through it. Being there for them helps, I mean being around always. If you aren’t living together or close enough, it may not work. Sometimes talking to them does and sometimes it doesn’t. Depression isn’t simple. It’s complex and the cause varies from person to person. I’m not professional but I’d recommend seeking ones help in real world. Not on here. People claim to be all sorts of things here while there’s no guarantee they are any of those.

@SW-User I don't know her in person..I just came to know her through a social app. And she doesn't want to look for a doctor and she doesn't tell her condition to anybody she knows near her.

It’s hard to deal with such cases and through social media it’s not advisable. She has to help herself or try contact someone that knows her. This is a very sensitive topic and you really can’t do much here if your contact is just limited to social media interaction. @zombiex8
