My girlfriend has mild depression, what can I do for her?

Be nice to her, don’t say she is sick in front of her, encourage her, and take her out for a walk if possible. A change of environment will be better for her. We normal people sometimes have a little bit of it, Don't suggest yourself. In fact, our body itself is very powerful. It can suffer from various diseases, but its self-healing function is also very powerful, and many things can be repaired by itself. The key is to see what kind of life you want to live.

Be patient with your girlfriend and have a gentle attitude. Patients with depression are more sensitive, so you must pay attention to your words. Often take her to exercise outdoors and support her in learning something in her spare time to enrich her life.

If it is mild, then you should be more understanding and tolerant, stay with her more, and keep her in a warm and loved environment. This will be of great help to her recovery from depression. !

But if the condition affects her normal life, the best way is to take her to a specialist hospital for treatment. In fact, there are now very complete and scientific treatments for depression. As long as you listen carefully to the doctor, It can usually be cured if you follow the doctor's advice and do not resist the treatment!

I wish your girlfriend a speedy recovery and I wish you happiness!

Take good care of her and keep her in a happy mood. It is best to take her to do some appropriate exercises every day. This is a long-term thing that requires your patience and tolerance.

This article is written in more detail, and the various views in it are relatively correct. If you have friends around you who are depressed, it would be helpful to take a good look at them. I hope everyone can be more patient and tolerant of depressed friends.

1) Be sure to encourage him to see a psychological counselor (or a psychiatrist if that doesn’t work). Never say it’s okay, because you don’t know how serious it is.

Especially the kind of depressed person who can still tell jokes. Everything looks fine.

And you have no idea about his problems such as insomnia, weight loss, inability to control emotions, etc.

People who can disguise their emotions have a particularly high success rate if they commit suicide.

2) If the consultation does not go well, be sure to encourage him or her to at least try another consultant.

Through Google, consultation and comparison, etc., find reliable institutions to recommend to them.

If you are very interested, go to the site and see for yourself first. You can feel whether an organization is good or bad.

Prevent depressed people from disappointing themselves. After being disappointed a few times, I probably don’t want to watch it anymore.

It has nothing to do with price. There are institutions that charge low fees and are reliable, and there are institutions that charge high fees and are reliable.

3) Tolerance, understanding, and acceptance. Ask less why. Don't force their behavior.

Some people can be mean when they talk, so don’t argue with them. This is not a question of logic.

Influence hostility with warmth. He is not disappointed in you, but disappointed in the world.

Be tolerant and express your concern through gifts and messages when appropriate.

4) Spend more time caring about him or her. One hour of communication during the dark period is worth more than a year of companionship in the future.

Don't pay attention to their appearance. It was hard to muster up the courage to come out. Don't talk about unwashed hair, dark circles under the eyes, etc.

Talk about happy things in the past, play the music he once liked, and talk about some happy and beautiful memories.

Remind him of the beauty of the world.

It is best to chat in a semi-enclosed space that feels safe, rather than in a noisy place.

Pure music and soothing music are also good as backgrounds, but don’t make the volume too loud and don’t loop a single.

5) Observe what they are eating and keep healthy foods nearby. Most people will lose their appetite and forget to eat.

Fruit, chocolate, eight-treasure porridge, etc. are all acceptable. Remind them to drink water. But don't nag.

It doesn’t matter if the other person doesn’t eat or drink.

Unless the situation is serious, do not eat for many days. I never saw the consultant again.

Due to many days of chaotic eating, most people have gastrointestinal problems. If you take them to eat, choose ordinary and easy-to-digest foods.

Daily meals, light. Don’t use high-fat and high-calorie foods.

6) Walk with them and see real, imperfect people.

Listen to ordinary people talking about trivial and silly things. Can slowly relax the nerves.

By the way, if he is willing to go out with you, please don’t do it for too long, such as 8 hours, etc. Look at your level of fatigue.

In addition, please do not say: Why are you unhappy? Why are you depressed?

He may have to cheer up and act with you, laugh at the jokes, make you laugh, etc. It's actually very tiring.

Can you give me some slack? Allow me to be unhappy for the time being. Allow me not to laugh. Allow me not to want to act.

7) Keep sunlight and air circulation indoors.

If he firmly does not want to go out, when he leaves the room, ventilate it and leave it with sunshine.

But don’t interrupt too often. The patient needs to rest, yes.

Make an appointment to have a party, 2-3 people are about the same, not too many people. It’s easy to turn into a polite chat.

Confession by the priest is also one-on-one. There are too many people and there are many words that cannot be said.

In addition, if he seriously doesn’t want to see people, you can try bringing a well-behaved pet over.

8) Never lie to them.

Do everything you promised. Don't be late, miss appointments, or lie.

These things are particularly serious for them.

Most people are very emotionally sensitive, and if they can’t do something, they can just say no.

Don’t cheat. Losing that sense of trust sucks.

9) Try not to rely on drugs. Encourage them to truly understand themselves and the world, which is better.

Don’t ask. Don't chase after the consultant to ask questions.

But you can ask the counselor how everyone can best cooperate.

In addition, he will have poor memory and may forget to complete the promise.

If you use the mobile APP, watch him mark it on the calendar and remind him again.

If you don’t use the Internet, remember to call to remind you. The tone must be gentle and loving.

It is very difficult for him to get up, and it is easy for him to refuse to go out.

Love and accept slowly, and he will be willing to give it a try.

10) If you want to give a gift:

Paintbrush to encourage them to draw.

Camera, taking photos is encouraged.

Pen and paper, and writing a diary can be helpful for recovery.

These are tools that can slowly analyze their mental processes.

Tea can calm the nerves. Avoid nerve-stimulating substances: coffee, alcohol, etc.

Eat more fruit, well, that’s right.

11) Places that can make people feel good:

The most common ones are: churches and temples, which are quiet and large spaces with low density of people and are easy to soothe the mind.

Other locations vary from person to person, and any location that can make him/her feel a safe zone is fine.

12) The last one.

If you are determined to care, be prepared to have a stable time. Don’t be constantly unable to find people.

If you are really busy at work, don’t go there by yourself, get a fixed phone number and gifts.

If you go there for a while and then disappear, there will be serious consequences. Building trust is slow and takes time.

If you really can't do this, I recommend you to consult a counselor and use other methods to maintain care.

By the way, if you talk about a suicide plan, don't be surprised to be attacked and accused or yelled for everyone to hear.

Listen patiently and point out the suicide failure rate in a calm manner. Then use something that interests him to procrastinate.

XX’s concert will come next month, or XX’s flowers will bloom next week.

Delay for a few more days to give the counselor time to intervene. Because the consultation is not valid on the same day. It takes many times before there is a change. Methods of suicide, etc., remember to inform the counselor in advance so that they can make a judgment. If you find that he is slowly making arrangements for his death, please inform the counselor. Giving away a lot of property to others, throwing away a lot of things, saying strange things to many friends on the phone, etc. No matter he arranges a trip next or goes somewhere alone, he must be careful. In short, in the first few months, you must pay more attention and give more care. Communicate with a counselor (or doctor) more often if necessary.

If the depression is caused by taking the civil service exam, you just need to pay appropriate attention to her. After all, she doesn’t want to be distracted, not to mention that you are both in different places. Maybe it will be fine after the exam is over! If your mood persists after taking the test, it is recommended to see a psychiatrist. After all, depression is very likely to commit suicide, especially if it is suppressed for too long, so it should be taken seriously. If you are not around her, you can try to ask friends who are around her to pay more attention to your girlfriend's situation.
