Hi! I am Jack. One of my friends is in depression these days due to his break up. He always remains reserve and don’t take interest in anything. I know that he is facing difficult situation but I don’t know what can I do to help him? He is also showing suicidal tendencies from some days. What should I do to help him?
Dear Jack! You can help your friend by giving him proper attention. Try to make him happy and encourage him to take part in various creative activities. You are right that he is facing the difficult situation of his life, but if he will continue like this he will ruin his life. There are many residential treatment centers and boarding schools that provide proper treatment to such teens.
This is really a bad situation, but you can take some steps that will help your friend. I think you should tell his parents about his condition if they don’t know about this. Providing affection and love can heal him quickly. You can arrange picnic or some other fun activity for your friend. Help from a psychologist will also help him to get out of this situation.
Your friend is facing a major problem. After his breakup with his girlfriend he is alone. You must talk to him about his condition because in this condition he can attempt to commit suicide. It will take some time him to grow up from this problem. Ask him to concentrate on his studies.
I can understand what you are feeling. I can only say, ask to not think about what happened to him in past only think about the future because whenever he would think about the past he would get more depressed. As you wrote, he attempted to commit suicide, so don’t let him alone and try to keep him busy.
Hi I am Jacob. I can understand your friend’s condition. Try to understand his feelings. Don’t let him alone. You have to convince him that life can’t stop by this. His way is not right. This is not a solution of his problem. You have to encourage him that life can’t stop by this. Your friend should forget his girlfriend. If you really want help your friend to come out from this condition, then it is not tough for you.
It’s a nice thing that you want to help your friend. Don’t worry. You have to make him understand that he should not think a lot about your girl friend. He needs to concentrate in his studies. Don’t let him alone and you can help him at each step. You can take suggestion of your elders.
Jack please don’t let this problem unrevealed from his parents. Talk to his parents about this so that they can search for some kind of help for him. Ask him about his needs and interest. Share his feelings and emotions. Take him to a family physician or seek out a specialist. They will give your friend the best care and treatment.
Hi! Jack. At this situation, your friend needs utmost love and care from his friends and his parents. Try to indulge him in activities he like the most and encourage him to do that so that he remain engrossed in them and can come up with his past relationship. You can also give him antidepressants only if prescribed by a doctor. Consult a psychiatrist or psychologist for him.
