How to help a depressed person

Resiliencecollective02 Apr, 2022Health

?My friend insisted that I see a psychologist or counsellor at school. He could tell that I wanted to but was scared to take the first step. He encouraged me and offered to go with me, and even reached out to the counsellor personally to ask if I could get an earlier slot (if not there would be a long waiting time of a few weeks). I think it was how invested he was in trying to help me that made me feel like someone cared for me, and it gave me a bit more hope?
