I think that someone close to me is suffering from depression. I don't think it's serious at the moment but from what I've been able to figure out (well from Google..) all the main boxes are being ticked.
Now, how can I help? Can someone give me some advice on helping him accept that he is/might be ill and persuading him to go to the doctor.
Just coming out with "have you thought you might be depressed?" will get a very defensive answer, I'm certain.
Any useful pointers or indeed good websites to visit would be greatly appreciated.
