Hi, I’m Frank for Real Story. It’s been a long time again that I haven’t updated the show. Recently I kept thinking about one thing, and it worries me. I’ve got a friend who got depression, and it’s affecting her job. what’s worse is she doesn’t know she is sick and she is pushing away all her friends. She always thinks her  world is full of bad people. Then I try to think of a way to help her, and this is also why you see this show today.

   When someone you know and love is depressed, you want to be there for that person. Still, keep in mind that your friend or loved one has a medical condition, so giving support may mean more than just offering a shoulder to cry on.When someone with depression is told “you’re too much,” especially from someone close to them, it can make this person feel worse. People with depression often have different ideas about how loved and supported they are, and they are very sensitive sometimes. Imagine for a moment hearing “you’re too much for me” from every single loved one in your life. That’s what depression does to you. It makes you feel like a burden to the world. Instead, we can show the person a positive side of life. Try to talk to him or her.  

Depression makes the world into a negative one. So it’s better to ask things like “Did something nice happen to you today?” or “Your hair looks beautiful today! Did you do it differently?”To them there are always days when, nothing feels good for them. So, if you need a break from the depression train, make it about you. Tell them you need positivity so you’d like to talk about something positive, even if they don’t have anything positive going on.

The following story is from a policeman with depression in America. Depression nearly took his life, but the support he got from a woman he barely knew saved him.

***Morgan’s  voice****

Depression can affect anyone. In Morgan's case it took the kindness of a fellow police officer to help him get the help he needed and move forward with treatment for his depression.You are listening to Real Story, I’m Frank.
