What to say to someone who is depressed?

Just be there for them, there isn't a specific thing that can always help, but making sure they know that you're there for them is always important

You have to show them that you support them and that you are there for them. The best thing to say is that you are here to support and listen to them.

I'm here, you aren't alone and you're loved. You can tell me anything what's bugging you. I won't tell anyone.

Hey friend don't feel down life is full of fun adventures :) just remember to stay strong and be all you can be

Aww that must be hard being depressed its not goodaybe you could talkk to your dr and get professional help

Hug them. Tell them that you are here for them and are ready to listen to their words. They will truly appreciate that.

Most of the time it isn't what you say, but it is just being there to listen and support! Let the person know you are there for them and will continue to be until they no longer need you!

Above all, tell them that you love them. Tell them that you will be there for them no matter what AND MEAN IT. Gently urge them to seek professional help and to take care of themselves. You probably know them well enough to know how to get them to do well by themselves.

Offer them your support. Guide them to seek professional help and online resources such as 7 Cups of Tea or other help lines. Tell them they are not alone in their struggles and there is help out there.

Let them know you are there for them, if you have gone through depression let them know you understand what they are going through, if you don't understand or haven't gone through it, just let them know you want to understand. Talk to them, try your very best to be understanding, know they will have ups and downs and sometimes deep dark holes they go down and they may need you to guide them through it and back into the light
