Be there for them

Research projects that most of the depression victims find solace when their loved ones are just sitting along with them while they are pouring their heart out. Most of them consider this as one of the most effective ways of coping up with such conditions as this shows pure support, consideration and empathy. This also reassures their importance in the other person’s life. 

Initiate small gestures

If you are confused on how to express your emotional side to a person in a poor mental condition, the best way to start this would be to do small gestures. May it be a small greeting card, or even as simple as a text message. This will build trust and a loving connection which gives them a beacon of light that will guide them during tough times. 

Avoid baseless judgement or criticism

What you speak and express can have a powerful impact on your loved ones. Try avoiding using phrases such as “This is all in your head. Try looking at the positive side.” While you may not be insensitive, but it may look like you are not considerate towards their situations impacting your relationship with them.
