Reassurance and empathy are key. Dark times call for positive reinforcement. Also just conversation in general. Talking definitely helps to distract the mind from dark thoughts and feelings.

If you or somebody you know is depressed, I would seek help from a professional, especially if suicide is becoming an option. If your friend is dealing with depression, try to talk things out with said person. :) Let them know that you are there for them.

There is no specific words to say to someone who is depressed! The best that you can do is to be there for them, talk to them, and try to understand them.

First, you should say to them you're here for them. That they are important for you, and that you care a lot about them. But, never tell them their problems are small, or compare their depression with other persons' one, it will makes them feel less worthy, and guilty.

Express your empathy towards them, often people who are depressed feel abandoned or feel like a burden to others. When you show that you care about them and you're here for them, it makes them feel more loved and accepted. All they want is to be accepted and not have their emotions belittled.

Always remind them that they are important and that they are loved and never alone. Even if their brain is telling them otherwise, it is so important to let them know how much they matter.

Depressed people can be hard to talk to but one thing you can say to them is that even though they don't think so, someone always loves and cares for them. Try telling them about 7 cups and also try to relate to them the best you can ♡

Be nice, be caring, and be gentle. They don't need pity, they need someone to be there for them, they need support.
