How to comfort depressed patients?

Depressed people are miserable. Depressed people seem to fall into a black hole or roll in an abyss, unable to extricate themselves. At this time, family and friends are needed to comfort him, and the most important thing is to give him hope. I have seen many patients with depression in clinic. They have all left me in great panic, abandoned by people around them, loved ones and the world. At this time, we should give him hope. This disease is not a very complicated and incurable disease. There are many treatments that give patients hope and enable them to cooperate with the treatment.

Patients with depression will have obvious depression. They can tell jokes or recall happy things before, divert patients' attention, prevent patients from thinking unhappy things, and also stimulate patients' happy mood.

Generally speaking, people with depression often have feelings of sadness, anger and inferiority. They don't understand the care given by their families, and even distort their goodwill. They think that these help and care are for other purposes, so patients will feel disgusted and dissatisfied with their families. They can consider the problem from the patient's point of view, understand the patient and constantly encourage the patient.

You can also take people with depression out for a walk. Sometimes words have no power, but more attitude and action. For example, patients go shopping, eat delicious food, watch movies, participate in some group or social activities, and also engage in some very simple and interesting activities.
