Today my dear friends I will talk about how to help fight depression either for us to any family member, friend, co-worker or as the case may be.

Depression can affect us all, without distinction of sex or social class, but coincidentally there are twice as many cases among women as among men.

Depression is not suffered only by the person who has this disorder. They also suffer from their partner, their children, their friends, their co-workers .

Many times, people in the environment do not know how to treat someone who is depressed. They do not know what to say or what to do. It can be very frustrating to want to encourage someone and see that all efforts are useless.

Take note of everything that needs to be done (and also what is not) to help a depressed person get out of the well.

• Avoid all criticism if you spend too much time on the couch, if you complain all day, if you're in a bad mood ... Many depressed people feel very guilty about their situation and criticism can aggravate the blame. They have to feel that they are not blamed for being depressed.
