For a person suffering from depression, having someone to talk to or offer emotional support is always important.
This network of people that a person can depend on for help is their support system. It can be large or small depending on the persons needs
and can include family,
close friends,
co-workers,
pets
and mental health professionals.
Having someone to talk to or offer emotional support can prevent the problem from getting worse, as well as reduce stress, low self esteem and feelings of loneliness.
If you know someone who suffers from depression, reach out and offer your support.
Together against depression, we can make a difference.
