"The presence and support of another person who is dealing with depression is the most beneficial thing anyone can do for them."
Digital Desk: Depression has
several different mental-change capabilities. It may lead you to hold false
beliefs about a number of things that are untrue. A depressed mind is
perpetually pessimistic and produces negative, repeating thoughts that make you
doubt your existence, drain your energy for daily tasks, and prevent you from
appreciating the simple but lovely things in life. When someone is depressed,
they frequently have suicidal or self-harming ideas because they can't envision
a bright future for themselves and are caught in a stage where everything seems
hopeless, embarrassing, and unknown.
Despite being episodic,
depression has a severe negative impact on your mind and body. When you watch a
member of your family or close friend deal with a challenging illness, you
start to consider what good improvements you might be able to make in their
lives. Supporting someone who is depressed can be challenging because careless
or impolite statements could have the opposite effect and make the person's
situation even worse. Here are some things you might say to someone who is
depressed to give them hope if you are unable to persuade them that this stage
is transitory and better days are ahead of them.
"The presence and
support of another person who is dealing with depression is the most beneficial
thing anyone can do for them." It's important to realize that most people
experiencing depression are not looking for advice but rather for someone to
listen to them, see them, and understand them, despite the fact that they may
experience worries, confusion, and other symptoms as they feel the need to say
the "right words," according to clinical psychologist Kasturi Chetia
(Private Practitioner in Bengaluru, India).
Here are some words of
support suggested by Chetia that you could use in your conversations with a
person struggling with depression.
I understand that sharing
what you are going through right now could make you feel afraid, but I want you
to know that I'm here for you whenever you need me.I won't always have the
correct response, but I'm here for you and am always working to better
comprehend your situation. How does "one day at a time" sound to you?
I was wondering if we might concentrate on getting through today rather than
planning how the upcoming week or month would pan out. If it's acceptable, might
I sit with you for a little while? If you don't want to have a conversation,
there is no pressure or expectation on you to do so. I wish depression didn't
cloud your vision and you could see yourself the way I do. I'm impressed by your
fortitude for dealing with Depression the way you do. You don't have to resolve
everything right now. Rest and take a rest until you are ready to attempt
again.I understand that it may seem as though this storm will never end, but it
is only passing, and we should seek shelter until it does.
