DEPRESSION IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST SWITCH OFF OR ‘GET OVER’ SO STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO ‘PULL THEMSELVES TOGETHER’ YA NOT HELPING YOU ARE INFACT PROBABLY MAKING IT WORSE JUST BY SAYING THAT BECAUSE THEN THE PERSON FEELS GUILTY/STUPID FOR FEELING/BEING THE WAY THEY ARE.
PROVIDE SUPPORT NOT CRITICISM.
